Reaction Steps

2 N solution of HCl in ether (15 ml) was added in stirring solution of compound 5 (10.0 g, 21.9 mmol) in methanol at 0° C. The mixture was allowed to warm to room temperature gradually and continue stirred for 2 hr. Solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure, and the residue was treated with anhydrous ether (120 mL) to precipitate the product 6. The precipitated product was washed with ether (50 mL×2) afforded the titled compound as white solid.
