Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of crude trans-7-((2-((tert-butyldimethylsilyl)oxy)cyclopentyl)oxy)-2-methylquinoline (3.0 g, 8.4 mmol) in THF (10 mL) was added 1.0 M TBAF in THF (17 mL, 17 mmol). After stirring at ambient temperature for 1 hour, saturated aqueous NH4Cl was added to the reaction mixture. The mixture was extracted with EtOAc. The combined organic layers were washed with brine, dried and concentrated. The residue was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel (2% MeOH in EtOAc) to give trans-2-((2-methylquinolin-7-yl)oxy)cyclopentanol (0.065 g, 3% for two steps).
