To a solution of 11 (300 mg, 0.53 mmol) in 20 mL of 1:9 AcOH/MeOH were added 300 mg 10%
Pd(OH)2 and the reaction mixture was vigorously shaken under 70 psi H2 for 10 h at rt. The mixture was
then filtered and concentrated in vacuo. Purification by column chromatography (ethyl acetate/hexane =

Borane-methyl sulfide complex (0.175 mL of a 10.1M solution in THF, 1.77 mmol) was added to a
cooled (0 °C) solution of the lactam (12) (100 mg, 0.25 mmol) in THF (5 mL). After 30 min, the solution
was warmed to rt. After another 2 h, the reaction was quenched by the slow addition of 3N NaOH and
30% H2O2 and heated at reflux for 1 h. After cooling to rt, to this solution was added excess 6N HCl (5
mL) and stirred for 3 h and the mixture concentrated in vacuo, and the residue was purified by using
ion-exchange chromatography (Dowex-50, H+) eluting with 3% NH4OH. Subsequent evaporation of
water in vacuo below 40 °C afforded a colorless syrup, which was dissolved in a small amount of
methanol and then precipitated by addition of acetone to give a hygroscopic, amorphous solid of
