Reaction Steps

A mixture of 101f (68.8 g, 205.4 mmol), methanol (1340 mL) and 50% aqueous sulfuric acid (881 mL) was stirred at reflux overnight. The reaction mixture was poured into 400 mL of water, extracted with DCM (3×1000 mL). The combined organic extracts were washed with 400 mL of brine, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated to dry to provide 101g (43 g) as a off-white solid which was used in the next step without further purification LCMS (ESI) m/z 225 (M+H)+.
