Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of EXAMPLE 342B (2.59 g) in tetrahydrofuran (40 mL) was added tetraammonium fluoride (1M in tetrahydrofuran, 21.03 mL). The solution was mixed at room temperature for two hours. The solvent was removed under vacuum, the residue was taken up in ethyl acetate, and the solution was vacuum filtered over a pad of silica gel. The filtrate was concentrated and purified by flash column chromatography on silica gel using 35% ethyl acetate in hexanes.
