Participants

Reaction Steps

The compound (520 mg) obtained in (4) was dissolved in THF (10 mL), followed by addition of tetrabutylammonium fluoride (TBAF, 1.0 M THF solution, 3.32 mL) under stirring, and the stirring was continued for 1 hour. The reaction solution was concentrated under reduced pressure, and the resulting residue was purified by flash chromatography (ethyl acetate/hexane=25%→100%) using amino column (product name: SNAP Cartridge KP-NH 55 g, manufactured by Biotage, Ltd.) to afford the title compound (288 mg).
