Reaction Steps

A suspension of 329a (5.5 g, 27 mmol) and 10% Pd/C (600 mg) in 1:1 methanol/ethyl acetate (100 mL) was hydrogenated in a Parr apparatus at 50 psi for overnight. The mixture was filtered through a pad of Celite and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to give crude 329b as a brown solid (5.0 g, 90%), which was used without further purification for the next step. MS: [M+H]+ 207. 1H NMR (500 MHz, CDCl3) δ 2.81-2.84 (t, J=8.5, 2H), 3.18-3.21 (m, 2H), 7.16 (s, 1H), 7.34-7.41 (m, 2H), 7.74-7.76 (d, 1H), 7.85-7.87 (d, 1H).
