Procedure
30 g (128 mmol) of the compound from Example 34A are dissolved in 1.3 l of anhydrous toluene, and 45 g (192 mmol) of silver(I) oxide and 24.6 g (769 mmol) of anhydrous methanol are added. The mixture is heated at 60° C. for 16 h. The mixture is then allowed to cool and filtered through silica gel. The product is eluted fractionally using a gradient of cyclohexane and cyclohexane/ethyl acetate 25:1. The product fractions are evaporated to dryness under reduced pressure and dried under reduced pressure. This gives 17 g (72% of theory) of the desired product.
