Reaction Steps

According to the procedure given for the synthesis of 206e, 205a (94.0 g, 0.37 mol) was reduced with LiBH4 (12.97 g, 0.60 mol) and methanol (19.04 g, 0.60 mol) in CH2Cl2 (400 mL) to give 206a (78.0 g, 100%) as an oil. 1H NMR (DMSO-d6): δ 4.42 (s, 1H), 3.45 (t, 2H, J=6.6), 3.08 (s, 2H), 1.84-1.69 (m, 2H), 1.27 (t, 2H, J=8.3), 0.78 (s, 6H). 13C NMR (DMSO-d6): δ 69.7, 36.9, 35.7, 34.5, 27.4, 24.0.
