Reaction Steps

After the dimethoxylated product obtained in Step B (2 g: 9.25 mmol) has been dissolved in anhydrous dichloromethane, 97% BBr3Me2S complex (2.98 g: 9.25 mmol 1 eq.) is introduced at ambient temperature. After 35 minutes of stirring, hydrolysis is carried out with a saturated solution of sodium hydrogen carbonate (pH=8). The product is extracted with dichloromethane and then purified on a silica column AcOEt/PE (3/7).
