Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 17 (7.75 gm, 30.5 mmol) in 1M HCl (25 ml) was stirred at 25° C. for 30 min. The solution was neutralized by addition of 10% aq. NaOH. The resulting solution was filtered and evaporated under vacuo. The solid residue obtained was chromatographed on a silica gel column using dichloromethane-methanol (88:12, v/v) as eluent to yield 18 (2.3 gm, 35.2%), which was used in the next reaction step.
