Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 252D (460 mg, 1.22 mmol) and NaOEt (1.25 mL, 21% wt in EtOH) in EtOH (10 ml) was stirred at 50° C. for 3 hrs, then at RT for about 48 hours. The reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo, followed by the addition of water. The mixture was acidified with 1N HCl to pH 4-5 and the solid was collected by filtration, washed with water and dried to give 300 mg (yield: 71%) of 252A. It had an analytical HPLC retention time=2.065 min. (Chromolith SpeedROD column 4.5×50 mm, 10-90% aqueous methanol containing 0.1% TFA over 4 min, 4 mL/min, monitoring at 220 nm). Mass (M+1)+=349.
