Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of compound 21 (0.9 g, 2.45 mmol) in MeOH (50 mL) was added NaOH (1.5 g, 37.5 mmol) at 0° C. After stirring for 16 hours at 40° C., the solvent was evaporated in vacuo, then the residue was dissolved in H2O (50 ml). The precipitate was filtered and the filtrate was washed with DCM (100 mL×1) and ethyl acetate (100 mL×1). The aqueous layer was acidified with 2N HCl to pH 1-2. The precipitate was filtered and washed with H2O (80 mL) and heptane (50 mL). It was dried in vacuo to give compound 28 as a white solid. 1H NMR (DMSO-d6; 400 MHz) δ 12.85 (s), δ 11.84 (s), δ 11.77 (s), δ 9.39 (s), δ 8.86 (s), δ 8.33 (s), δ 7.79 (m), δ 7.52 (m), δ 7.18 (s), δ 7.09 (s), δ 1.44 (s), δ 1.40 (s). MS found (M+H) 423.08.
