7-(3-benzyloxy-benzenesulfonyl)-3,4-dihydro-1H-benzofuro[2,3-c]pyridine-2-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester → 3-(1,2,3,4-Tetrahydro-benzo[4,5]furo[2,3-c]pyridine-7-sulfonyl)-phenol

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 7-(3-benzyloxy-benzenesulfonyl)-3,4-dihydro-1H-benzofuro[2,3-c]pyridine-2-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (50 mg, 0.1 mmol) in 5 mL methanol and 1 mL EtOAc was added Pd black (10% on carbon, 45 mg, 3.4 mmol). The mixture was kept under hydrogenation at 40 psi overnight and the solvent was evaporated. After filtration, the debenzylated product was taken to the next step without further purification. Removal of N-Boc protecting group with 4N HCl using a general procedure afforded the title product. mp 279-281° C., MS m/z 330 [M+H]+. 1H-NMR (400 MHz, DMSOd6): δ 10.26 (s, 1H), 9.76 (br s, 2H), 8.24 (s, 1H), 7.84 (m, 2H), 7.39 (m, 2H), 7.30 (s, 1H), 7.02 (m, 1H), 4.47 (s, 2H), 3.44 (m, 2H), 2.94 (m, 2H).
