Reaction Steps

To 3.2 g (0.0093 mol) of the product from Step A was added 100 mL methanol and 100 mL 1N sodium hydroxide. The reaction mixture was heated at reflux for 18 h, cooled to room temperature, poured into 200 mL water and extracted with ether (1×100 mL). The aqueous phase was acidified with concentrated HCl and extracted with ether (3×100 mL), washed with water (1×100 mL) and brine (1×100 mL), dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure to afford 3.0 g of a yellow solid, mp 157-158° C. 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ: 1.6 (bs, 1H), 1.8-2.4 (m, 3H), 2.8 (d, 1H), 5.3 (bs, 1H), 7.0-7.4 (m, 9H).
