The resulting mixture was hydrogenated at 30 psi for 24 hours. The reaction was filtered, concentrated in vacuo, and the crude isolate purified (SiO2, 2 to 10% methanol in methylene chloride) to afford the title compound. 1H NMR (500 MHz, CDCl3) δ 2.5 (s, 3H), 3.99 (s, 3H), 5.3 (s, 2H), 5.38 (bs, 2H), 6.39 (s, 1H), 6.25 (s, 1H), 7.93-7.21 (m, 4H), 8.61 (s, 1H), 8.93 (s, 1H).
