Reaction Steps

A 250-mL Parr reactor bottle was purged with nitrogen and charged with 10% palladium on carbon (50% wet, 75 mg dry weight) and a solution of 217b (455 mg, 1.79 mmol) in ethanol (20 mL). The bottle was attached to a Parr hydrogenator, evacuated, charged with hydrogen gas to a pressure of 50 psi and shaken for 3 h. After this time, the hydrogen was evacuated, and nitrogen was charged into the bottle. Celite 521 (3.50 g) was added, and the mixture was filtered through a pad of Celite 521. The filter cake was washed with ethanol (2×50 mL), and the combined filtrates were concentrated to dryness under reduced pressure to afford a quantitative yield of 217c (425 mg) as a yellow semi-solid: 1H NMR (500 MHz, CDCl3) d 7.75 (d, J=3.0 Hz, 1H), 7.20 (dd, J=9.0, 3.0 Hz, 1H), 6.51 (d, J=8.5 Hz, 1H), 4.66 (t, J=5.0 Hz, 1H), 4.56 (t, J=5.0 Hz, 1H), 4.35-4.15 (br s, 2H), 3.08 (t, J=5.0 Hz, 4H), 2.79 (t, J=5.0 Hz, 1H), 2.74 (t, J=4.5 Hz, 1H), 2.71 (t, J=5.0 Hz, 4H); MS (ESI+) m/z 225.1 (M+H).
