Reaction Steps

To a solution of compound 41 (4.2 mmol) in 20 mL of water and 20 mL of acetone was added silver nitrate (8.4 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at 50° C. for 2 hours. Black precipitate was filtered out. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo. To the residue was added 100 mL of ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with water and brine, then dried with MgSO4. Solvents was removed in vacuo to afford a white solid in 86% yield. The white solid was added to a mixture of hydrazine and ethyl alcohol. The mixture was stirred for 2 hours under reflux. The solution was concentrated in vacuo. To the concentrated solution was added water. A white precipitate was formed, filtered out, and washed with extra water. The white solid was collected and dried to give a white solid product 57 in 95% yield. MS (ES+): 267, 1H-NMR (DMSO-d6, 400 MHz): 12.56 (s, 1H), 7.99 (d, J=2.0 Hz, 1H), 7.91-7.81 (m, 2H), 7.63 (dd, J=7.5 and 2.0 Hz, 1H), 7.43 (dd, J=8.5 and 2.0 Hz, 1H), 7.30 (d, J=8.5 Hz, 1H), 4.50 (d, J=6.0 Hz, 2H); Anal. Calcd. for C15H10N2O3.(0.08 hydrazine): C, 67.02; H, 3.87; N, 11.25. Found: C, 67.29; H, 3.82; N, 11.51.
