Procedure

To the compound (332 mg, 1.23 mmol) obtained in step 1 were added triethyl orthoformate (5.0 mL, 27 mmol) and propionic acid (0.020 mL, 0.27 mmol), and the mixture was stirred at 138° C. overnight. The reaction mixture was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane/ethyl acetate=90/10) to give the title compound (149 mg, 0.435 mmol, 35%).
