Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

The crude material from step 3 (10 g) was dissolved in 1 litre of methanol in a pressure vessel, 20 g of moist 10% Pd/C catalyst and 100 mL acetic acid were added and stirred under an atmosphere of hydrogen at 5 bar and 50° C. for 8 hours. The reaction was cooled, filtered and evaporated. The residue was dissolved in water and basified with sodium hydroxide solution, extracted into dichloromethane, dried and evaporated. The brown solid was triturated with isopropanol, filtered, and washed with ether to give the title compound (60 g) as a pale grey solid; NMR: 2.00(m, 4H), 2.75(m, 2H), 3.15(m, 2H), 3.20(s, 3H), 4.60(m, 1H), 7.78 (dd, 1H), 7.85(d, 1H), 8.20(d, 1H), 8.56(s, 1H).
