Procedure

A solution of Intermediate 20 (1 g, 4.42 mmol) in methanol (20 ml) was hydrogenated in the presence of palladium on charcoal (10 mg, 10%) for 3 hours. The mixture was then filtered over Celite and the solvent removed under reduced pressure. The residue (0.91 g) was used in the next step without further purification.
