Reduction of epoxide III. To a solution of 0.50 g
(3.0 mmol) of epoxide III in 10 ml of anhydrous MeOH
was added 1.24 g (5.0 mmol) of CeCl3·7H2O, and the
mixture was stirred till it turned homogenic. Then at
–10°C 0.125 g (3.00 mmol) of NaBH4 was added, the
temperature of the mixture was raised to ambient, and
the stirring was continued till the disappearance of the
initial ketone (TLC monitoring). The reaction mixture
was evaporated, 5 ml of water was added, the reaction
product was extracted into EtOAc (3 × 20 ml), the com-
bined organic solutions were washed with brine, dried
with MgSO4, evaporated, the residue was subjected to
chromatography on a column packed with SiO2 (eluent
EtOAc–petroleum ether, 1 : 1) to obtain 0.44 g (overall

1 ml of BF3·Et2O, the reaction mixture was stirred at room
temperature till complete consumption of the initial com-
pound (TLC monitoring). To the reaction mixture 5 ml
of saturated solution of NH4Cl was added, the organic
layer was separated, the water layer was extracted with
CH2Cl2 (3 × 3 ml). The combined organic solutions were
washed with brine, dried with MgSO4, and evaporated.
