Reaction Steps

To a solution of 17-ethyl-1-hydroxy-14-(tert-butyldimethylsiloxy)-12-[2'-(4"-(tert-butyldimethylsiloxy)-3"-methoxycyclohexyl)-1'-methylvinyl]-23,25-dimethoxy-13,19,21,27-tetramethyl-11,28-dioxa-4-azatricyclo[22.3.1.04,9 ]octacos-18-ene-2,3,10,16-tetraone (2.91 g) in acetonitrile (15 ml) was added a solution of 2% hydrogen fluoride in aqueous acetonitrile (2 ml), and the mixture stirred at room temperature. After 4 hours, the solution was diluted with ethyl acetate, extracted with saturated sodium bicarbonate solution and the organic phase dried over magnesium sulfate. Purification of the concentrate by flash chromatography on silica gel (ethyl acetate:hexane (1:1)+1% methanol) gave the title compound (1.51 g). (1 H NMR was consistent with the desired structure).
