Procedure

A solution of compound 208A (62 mg, 0.32 mmol) in 1 mL EtOH containing 0.1 mL 12 N HCl was heated to reflux. Iron powder (62 mg, 1.11 mmol) was added in small portions and heating was continued for 2 h. The mixture was cooled, neutralized with 1 N NaOH solution and the aqueous layer was extracted with CH2Cl2. The combined organic phases were dried over MgSO4 and concentrated in vacuo to leave a residue which was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel eluting with 40 to 80% EtOAc in hexanes to give 42 mg (0.26 mmol, 80%) of compound 208B as a yellow solid.
