Reaction Steps
For synthesis from compound 16, following the same procedure adopted for the synthesis of 13, the title compound 17 was obtained from the reaction of compound 16 with CDI. Yield: 62%, off-white solid. For synthesis from compound 13, to a solution of compound 13 (0.94 g, 3 mmol) in CH3OH (30 mL) was added Ra—Ni (0.20 g, 10% wet basis), and the mixture was subjected to hydrogenation in a Parr apparatus at 60 psi for 12 hours. After filtering over the pad of celite, the solution was concentrated and recrystallized from diethyl ether to get compound 17. Yield: 90%, off-white solid, mp>250° C.
