Reaction Steps

43 (2.5 g, 10.5 mmol) was added to a solution of acetic acid (62.5 mL) and hydrobromic acid 48% (70 mL) and the reaction mixture was heated at 150° C. for 4 h. The reaction mixture was then cooled to rt and evaporated to dryness. The residue was diluted in hot CH2Cl2 (40 mL) and filtered. The filtrate was evaporated to dryness to give 44 (1.74 g, 91%) which was used as such in the next step:
