Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of the product from Example 1 step c) (22 g, 159 mmol) in methanol (250 ml) was slowly added hydrazine monhydrate (36.6 ml, 710 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred for 1.5 h. The precipitate produced was filtered, washed with diethyl ether and dried in the oven at 80° C. to give the required product (30 g). 1H NMR (250 MHz, DMSO) δ 4.66 (2H, broad peak), 8.66 (1H, m), 8.84 (1H, d, J=2.5 Hz), 9.13 (1H, d, J=2.5 Hz), 10.15 (1H, broad peak); MS (ES+) m/e 139 [MH+].
