Reaction Steps

The product from step (ii) (0.8 g) was dissolved in glacial acetic acid (20 ml) and treated with 48% aqueous HBr (20 ml). The mixture was heated at 100° C. for 16 h. The mixture was cooled and diluted with 2M NaOH, extracted with ethyl acetate, dried (MgSO4) and evaporated under reduced pressure to give an oil, which was purified by RPHPLC to give a colourless oil (0.5 g).
