Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3.5 g (8.64 mmol) of the product of Step C in 30 mL of methanol was added 2.07 mL (10.37 mmol) of 5.0N aqueous sodium hydroxide solution. After stirring overnight, TLC analysis (80:15:1 chloroform/methanol/ammonium hydroxide) indicated that the saponification was complete. The reaction mixture was acidified to pH 3 with 6N aqueous HCl and concentrated in vacuo.
