Reaction Steps

A solution of acid 146 (10.0 g, 53.1 mmol) in MeOH (45 mL) and dioxane (150 mL) with Pd/C (10%, 1.0 g) was stirred under H2 (40 psi) for 16 h. The mixture was filtered through Celite and the solvent evaporated to give acid 147 as an off-white solid: mp 85-88° C. [lit. (Nagasawa et al., Japanese Patent 04338358, 1992) 89-91° C.]; 1H NMR δ 8.47 (br s, 1H, OH), 7.08-7.18 (m, 4H, H-4, H-5, H-6, H-7), 2.99-3.06 (m, 2H, H-1, H-3), 2.69-2.74 (m, 1H, H-2), 2.53-2.60 (m, 2H, H-1, H-3), 2.48 (d, J=7.4 Hz, 2H, CH2CO2).
