To a solution of compound II (6.9 g) in ethanol/THF/water (ratio 40:20:10) was added ammonium chloride (3.3 g) and powdered iron (3.4 g). This mixture was heated to reflux for 5 h. The hot mixture was then filtered through Celite and concentrated. The residue was dissolved in ethyl acetate and washed with saturated NaHCO3 solution followed by water and then brine. The solution was dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated to afford compound III as an off-white solid (5.6 g).
