Reaction Steps

(E)-3-[2-Methyl-4-(3-methyl-4,10-dihydro-3H-2,3,4,9-tetraaza-benzo[f]azulene-9-carbonyl)-phenyl]-acrylic acid tert-butyl ester from Example E45.2 (436 mg, 0.99 mmol) was dissolved in methanol (40 ml) and hydrogenated over 10% Pd/C catalyst (91 mg) for 5 h. The mixture was filtered through Celite® filter agent and the filtrate was concentrated in vacuo and azeotroped with dichloromethane to yield the title compound (426 mg, 96%).
