Reaction Steps

Titanium trichloride (10% solution in 20-30% HCl) was added to a solution of 3-(methoxycarbonylhydrazono)-2-(3-nitrophenylamino)butyric acid ethyl ester (compound 1c-51a) (5.0 g, 14.78 mmol) in acetone (50 mL), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. Water was then added to the reaction mixture, extraction was performed with ethyl acetate, and the organic extract was washed with water and saturated saline. After drying over magnesium sulfate, it was concentrated under reduced pressure to yield a crude product, which was then purified by column chromatography to yield the title compound (3.75 g, 95%) as a yellow oil.
