Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of Compound 201A prepared above in dry THF (2 mL) cooled at −78° C. was added L-Selectride (1.0 M in THF, 0.98 mL, 0.98 mmol). The mixture was stirred at −78° C. for 2.0 hrs. Saturated NH4Cl (2 mL) was added and the reaction mixture was allowed to warm to room temperature. The mixture was diluted with water and extracted with EtOAc (3×). The combined organic layers were washed once with brine and dried over anhydrous Na2SO4. Concentration in vacuo followed by flash chromatography (hexane-EtOAc 4:1) on silica gel gave 44 mg of Compound 201B as an oil. 1H-NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): 3.84 (m, 1H), 3.69 (m, 1H), 3.58 (m, 2H), 3.40 (m, 1H), 3.30 (m, 1H), 1.96 (m, 1H), 1.73 (m, 1H), 1.46 (s, 9H).
