Procedure

To a solution of 15 (2.90 g, 9.98 mmol) in THF/water, (3:1, 80 mL) was added lithium hydroxide monohydrate (838 mg, 20.0 mmol) and the resulting suspension was allowed to stir for 16 h. The reaction mixture was diluted with water (30 mL) and the THF was removed by evaporation. The aqueous layer was extracted with DCM (40 mL) to remove unreacted starting material. The aqueous phase was acidified with 10% HCl and the resulting precipitate was extracted with DCM (3×40 mL). The combined organic fractions were dried and evaporated to yield the title compound (2.62 g, 9.98 mmol, 100%) as white needles, which had spectral data in agreement with that reported.122 Mp 170-172° C.
