Reaction Steps

To the product from Example 113B (500 mg, 1.82 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (50 mL) was added a solution of lithium aluminum hydride (1.0M in THF, 1.8 mL, 1.82 mmol) dropwise at room temperature followed by heating the mixture to 70° C. for 4 hours. Water (25 mL) was then carefully added to the solution and the organic layer separated, dried and concentrated under vacuum to provide the title compound (295 mg, 66%).
