Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of methyl 5-{[tert-butyl(dimethyl)silyl]oxy}-2-methylbenzoate (step 2, 810 mg, 2.89 mmol) in dichloromethane (15 mL) was added a 0.95 M solution of diisobutylaluminum hydride in hexane (6.69 mL, 6.35 mmol) at −78° C. The mixture was stirred at −78° C. for 2 h. The reaction was quenched by addition of water (6.7 mL) at −78° C. The mixture was diluted with dichloromethane (50 mL) and hexane (50 mL), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 16 h. The mixture was dried over magnesium sulfate, concentrated to afford 724 mg (99%) of the title compound as a colorless oil:
