Reaction Steps

To a solution of 61J (369 mg) in THF (4 mL) was added TBAF (1.0 M in THF, 1.3 mL). The reaction was stirred at rt for 1 h. The reaction was extracted with EtOAc which was washed three times with water, dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated. Purification by reverse phase HPLC (Phenomenex Luna 20×100 mm S5 C18, 10 min. grad, 20 mL/min, 20-100% B solvent, A=10% MeOH/water+0.1% TFA, B=90% MeOH/Water+0.1% TFA) provided the title compound (186 mg): MS (ES) m/z 306.42 [M+H]+
