Procedure

A portion of 14 (5.77 g, 20.2 mmol) was dissolved in 40 mL of acidic ethanol, and a catalytic amount of 10% palladium on carbon was added. The mixture was hydrogenated on a Parr apparatus (60 psi, 70° C.) for 3 hours. The mixture was then filtered over Celite, washing with ethanol. Solid sodium bicarbonate was added, and the mixture was stirred for 2 hours and, then filtered. The solvent was removed by distillation at reduced pressure, leaving a brown oil (5.0 g, 98% yield).
