Reaction Steps

A solution of 1-(4-{1-ethyl-1-[3-methyl-4-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-[1,3,2]dioxaborolan-2-yl)-phenyl]-propyl}-2-methyl-phenoxy)-3,3-dimethyl-butan-2-one (Example 30-(2); 0.50 g, 1.02 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (10 mL) was cooled to −78° C. A 1 M solution of L-selectride (R) in tetrahydrofuran (1.0 mL) was added dropwise, and the mixture was stirred for 20 minutes. A saturated aqueous ammonium chloride solution was added to the reaction mixture, followed by extraction with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with water, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel chromatography (5% ethyl acetate/hexane) to give the title compound (0.42 g, 83%).
