Reaction Steps

10% Pd/C catalyst (3.3 g) was added to a solution of 169 (33.0 g, 93.1 mmol) in absolute EtOH (250 mL). The reaction mixture was hydrogenated under pressure using a Parr hydrogenator at 55 psi H2 for 18 h. The reaction mixture was filtered through celite, and the celite washed with hot MeOH, taking care not to allow the filter cake to dry out. Removal of excess solvent afforded the crude product (20.14 g). The crude product was allowed to stir in 1 N HCl (200 mL) and CHCl3 (200 mL) for 30 minutes. The organic layer was washed with 1 N HCl (100 mL) and the aqueous layers were combined and neutralised with saturated aqueous NaHCO3. On leaving the aqueous extract overnight, a fine white precipitate formed (170) which was collected by filtration and dried (7.81 g, 26.72 mol, 29%). 1H NMR (270 MHz, CDCl3) d 10.06 (s, 1H, NH), 7.61 (s, 1H, ArH), 7.36 (s, 1H, ArH), 4.49-4.41 (m, 1H, 2), 4.22-4.17 (m, 1H, 11a), 3.88 (s, 6H), 3.82-3.55 (m, 2H., 3), 3.20 (br s, 1H, OH), 2.87-2.77 (m, 1H, 1), 2.10-2.05 (m, 1H, 1); 13C NMR (CDCl3) d 170.2, 165.9, 152.0, 145.7, 130.7, 118.2, 111.9, 104.2, 68.1, 56.0, 55.6, 54.2, 34.6, 18.8.
