Reaction Steps

A solution of (3) (1.27 g, 5.0 mM) in 15 mL ethyl acetate containing 200 mg of 5% palladium on carbon is reacted in a hydrogen atmosphere (40 psig.) at room temperature until hydrogen uptake ceases. The mixture is then filtered and concentrated in vacuo to yield 1.0+ g of (4) as an oil/low melting solid.
