Reaction Steps

The title compound of Example 1, Step A (0.97 g, 3 mmol) was treated with 50 mL of chloroform containing 3% each of TFA and triethylsilane for 2 h. The reaction was partitioned between aq sodium bicarbonate and EtOAc. The organic phase was concentrated and the resultant residue was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel (mobile phase=15:85 (v/v) EtOAc:hexanes) to provide the title compound.
