Participants

Reaction Steps

To a flask under nitrogen was added the compound prepared in Example 49 (0.90 g), ammonium formate (2.57 g) and palladium on carbon (1.61 g). Methanol was added (45 mL) under nitrogen and the reaction heated at reflux for 2.5 h. The reaction mixture was cooled and filtered through Celite®, washing the filter cake with methanol. The solvent was removed in vacuo, diluted with water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined ethyl acetate fractions were washed with brine, dried and concentrated to give the title compound (0.57 g) as a colourless solid.
