Reaction Steps

The product from Example 6A (289 mg, 0.554 mmol) in THF:MeOH (1:1, 20 mL) and 15% aq NaOH (10 mL) was heated at reflux. After 24 hours, the volatiles were evaporated at reduced pressure and the residue was partitioned between ethyl acetate and saturated NaHCO3. The separated aqueous phase was extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic extracts were washed with brine, dried (Na2SO4), filtered, and the filtrate concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by flash chromatography (80% ethyl acetate/hexanes) to provide the title compound as an orange solid (172 mg, 55% yield). 1H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 9.50 (1H), 7.97-8.1 (m, 4H), 7.92 (d, 2H), 7.00 (t, 1H), 6.83 (t, 1H), 6.58 (t, 1H), 6.53 (m, 1H), 6.42 (m, 1H), 6.35 (t, 1H), 6.22 (m, 2H), 5.14 (bs, 2H). MS (ESI) 520 (M−H)−.
