Reaction Steps

A solution of EXAMPLE 88A (0.8 g, 2.3 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (5 mL) was cooled to −78° C. and treated with lithium aluminum hydride (0.25 g, 6.6 mmol). The mixture was stirred for 30 minutes and treated with water (1 mL) and 15% sodium hydroxide (0.25 mL). Dichloromethane was added and the mixture dried over magnesium sulfate and filtered through silica gel. The solution was concentrated and purified by flash chromatography on silica gel using 1:1 hexane/ethyl acetate to provide the title compound (0.18 g).
