Vorschrift

The product from Step 1.e. (6.13 g, 20.5 mmol) (compound vi where R3 is n-butyl, R4 is 2-methoxyphenyl, and R5 and R6 are H) was dissolved in THF (100 ml) and treated with 1M BH3H/TF (82.0 ml, 82.0 mmol) at room temperature for about 2 hours and then refluxed for about 3 hours. The mixture was cooled to room temperature and 4N HCl (50 ml) was added dropwise. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for about 2 hours then made basic by careful portionwise addition of solid K2CO3. Product was extracted with EtOAc (3×50 ml). The EtOAc layers were combined, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was dissolved in MeOH (about 50 ml), concentrated HCl (1.75 ml) was added and the solution was again concentrated under reduced pressure. The product was crystallized from MeOH/Et2O to yield 6.76 g (92%) of the desired product.
