Procedure

The product from Example 12A (7.0 g, 50 mmol) in water (100 mL) at 0° C. was treated slowly with concentrated sulfuric acid (30 mL) at a rate to maintain the temperature below 10° C. and then treated dropwise with an aqueous solution of sodium nitrite (3.45 g, 50 mmol). This solution was then added to a solution of potassium iodide (8.13 g, 50 mmol) in water (15 mL), heated at 60° C. for 2 hours, cooled and extracted with methylene chloride. The methylene chloride layer was washed with 10% sodium hydroxide, washed with 1 M sodium thiosulfate, washed with 10% hydrochloric acid, washed with aqueous sodium bicarbonate, dried (sodium sulfate), filtered and concentrated. The residue was purified by flash chromatography over silica gel (ethyl acetate/hexane 7:3) to provide 6.4 g of the title compound. 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 1.69 (t, 1H), 4.66 (d, 2H), 7.05 (t, 1H), 7.60 (d, 1H), 7.78 (dd, 1H).
