Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of the compound (0.66 g) obtained in step 4 in methanol (6.5 mL) and water (1.3 mL) was added potassium carbonate (0.35 g) at room temperature, and the mixture was stirred at 50° C. for 24 hr. Furthermore, potassium carbonate (1.70 g) was added, and the mixture was stirred at 50° C. for 6 days. The organic solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure, and the residue was poured into saturated aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate solution and ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with brine and dried, and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The obtained residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (NH Chromatorex) (solvent gradient; 0→9% methanol/ethyl acetate) to give the title compound (0.30 g, 58%) as a white powder.
