Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of the product from Step A (0.13 g, 0.4 mmol) in methanol (8 ml) was added NaBH4 (0.016 g, 0.4 mmol) and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 20 min. A saturated aqueous solution of NH4Cl (20 ml) and ethyl acetate (20 ml) were added to the reaction mixture. The aqueous layer was separated and extracted with ethyl acetate (3×15 ml). The combined extracts were washed with a saturated aqueous solution of NaCl (2×15 ml), dried (MgSO4), and evaporated to give an oil (0.12 g). MS(APCl) m/z 325 (M+H)+.
