Reaction Steps

A solution of 16 (346 mg, 0.64 mmol) in DCM (10 mL) was treated with TFA (3 mL) at ambient temperature. After 1 h, the solution was concentrated, diluted with EtOAc, and washed with saturated NaHCO3. The aqueous phase was back extracted with DCM and the combined organic extracts were washed with brine, dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated to afford 17 (245 mg) as an orange-colored foam that was used without further purification. Mass spectrum, m/z [444.4] (M+H)+.
