Procedure
76B (1.20 g, 5 mmol) was suspended in EtOH (4 mL) and aqueous NaOH (1 M, 10 mL) and was heated to 75° C. for one hour. Upon cooling to room temperature, the solution was acidified with HCl (conc.), was cooled to 0° C., and was filtered. The white crystalline precipitate was dried under vacuum (835 mg, 74%). NMR 1H (ppm, CDCl3): 8.00 (d, J3=8.2 Hz, 2H), 7.29-7.13 (m, 9H), 3.01-2.91 (m, 4H).
