Reaction Steps

A suspension of 46 (1.1 g, 3.3 mmol) in THF (10 ml) was treated with triethylamine (0.66 g, 6.6 mmol) at room temperature. To this suspension was added ethyl chloroformate (0.36 g, 3.3 mmol) at 0° C. After 30 minutes, NH3 aq (0.67 g, 6.7 mmol) was added at 0° C. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour, poured into H2O and extracted with EtOAc three times. The combined extracts were dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated to give 48 (1.2 g, 3.0 mmol, 90%; 4:1 mixture of isomers at 3-position). This was used without further purification.
