Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of the product of Example 18A (1.5 g, 4.4 mmol) in 1:1 tetrahydrofuran/methanol (80 mL) at ambient temperature was slowly added zinc power (1.43 g, 22 mmol) and acetic acid (5 mL). The mixture was stirred for 1 hour, and saturated aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate solution was added. The mixture was stirred for 1 hour and filtered, and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated. The residue was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel eluting with 5/1 petroleum ether/ethyl acetate to give title compound. MS: 312 (M+H+).
