Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A solution of the product of Example 3F (28.44 g, 78.9 mmol) in ethanol (400 mL) was treated with hydrazine hydrate (25 mL, 789 mmol), stirred at 70° C. for 2 hours, cooled to 25° C. The solid precipitate was dissolved by addition of aqueous NaOH solution (200 mL, 1 N). The reaction was partitioned between dichloromethane and water. The aqueous was extracted three times with dichloromethane. The combined organic extracts were dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated to give the title compound (15.4 g, 85% yield), which was used without further purification.
