Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 8.15 g (214.8 mmol) of lithium aluminium hydride (LiAlH4) in 800 mL of methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) there are added 101.2 g of the ditosyl compound obtained in Step A (214.8 mmol) dissolved in 200 mL of MTBE. The batch is then heated at 50° C. for 2 hours. It is allowed to cool and placed at 0° C., and there are then added, dropwise, 12 mL of 5N NaOH solution. The batch is stirred at ambient temperature for 45 minutes. The solid thereby obtained is then filtered off and washed with MTBE and then with dichloromethane. The filtrate is then concentrated to dryness. The title product is then obtained in the form of a solid.
