Reaction Steps

8.0 g of 1,2,3,4,6,7,8,9-octahydro-1,1,4,4-tetramethylphenazine was dissolved in 30 ml of acetic acid, followed by the dropwise addition of a solution of 4.9 g of chromic acid anhydride in acetic acid (30 ml)/water (4 ml) The obtained mixture was stirred at 80° C. for 30 minutes, cooled by allowing to stand, and poured into water, followed by the extraction with ethyl acetate. The organic phase was washed with a saturated aqueous solution of sodium hydrogencarbonate and a saturated aqueous solution of common salt, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and concentrated in a vacuum. The obtained residue was purified by silica gel chromatography (developer: 20% ethyl acetate/hexane) to give 1.6 g of the title compound as a brown oil.
