Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (2) (4.24 g, 23.3 mmol) in THF (15 mL) was added TBAF (32 mL of a 1 M solution in THF, 32 mmol) followed by nitromethane (3 mL) and the reaction heated at 60° C. for 8 hours. After cooling, the reaction mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate (150 mL) and washed with 2N HCl (40 mL) then saturated brine (50 mL). Column chromatography (10:1 heptane/ethyl acetate) gave the product as an oil, 2.24 g, 40%.
