Reaction Steps

To 1.98 g (3.8 mmol) of compound 5 in 15 mL of CH2Cl2 is added 6.5 mL of trifluoroacetic acid. The mixture is stirred under a nitrogen atmosphere for 1 h and then concentrated. The resulting residue is taken up in ethyl acetate and washed twice with 10% Na2CO3 and once with 1 N NaHCO3. The organic layer is dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated to afford 1.6 g (quant.) of a pale yellow oil (free base of 6), which is generally carried on in the next step without characterization. The yellow oil may be dissolved in ether and treated with ethereal HCl to precipitate (dihydrochloride 6 as a white solid after trituration with ether: 1H NMR (CDCl3+CD3OD drop) δ 7.55 (s, 1H), 7.45–7.15 (m, 3H), 6.85 (m, 2H), 6.75 (m, 1H), 4.4 (d, J=9.5 Hz, 1H), 3.82 (m, 1H), 2.97 (m, 2H), 2.81 (dd, J=8, 14 Hz, 1H), 2.65 (m, 2H), 2.5 (obscured by water) 2.26 (m, 1H), 2.13 (m, 2H), 1.79 (m, 2H), 1.59 (m, 1H), 1.45–1.25 (m, 3H), 1.28 (d, J=7 Hz, 6H); MS (CI) m/z 417.3 (MH+).
