Participants

Reaction Steps

To the product of Example 74 (10.0 g, 46.7 mmol) in 150 mL of toluene cooled to -78° C. was added dropwise under argon (Ar) 93.5 mL (93.5 mmol) of diisobutylaluminum hydride (DIBAL) in toluene over a 15 min. period. After stirring this reaction for 45 min., MeOH (40 mL) was added dropwise followed by 200 mL of a saturated solution of Rochelle salts (potassium sodium tartrate tetrahydrate). The reaction was warmed to room temperature, stirred for one hour, and the organic layer was separated The aqueous layer was washed with EtOAc and the organic layer was stripped of all toluene. The residue and the EtOAc extract were combined, diluted with EtOAc, washed with water, dried (MgSO4), filtered and stripped of all solvent to yield the crude desired produce. This material was chromatographed through silica gel eluting with a 1:1 mixture of EtOAc and hexane to yield 6.4 g of the title material as a colorless oil.
