Participants

Reaction Steps

Compound 4 (34 mg, 0.09 mmol) was dissolved in ethanol (5 ml) followed by the addition of stannous chloride (51.4 mg, 0.27 mmol) and concentrated HCl (0.25 ml). The reaction mixture was refluxed for 2 hours and cooled down. 2N NaOH was used to adjust pH to 10. Dichloromethane was added and the organic layer was separated, washed with brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and evaporated. The residue was purified by PTLC (3% MeOH in DCM as developing solvent) to give product 5 (18 mg, Yield: 58%): 1H NMR (200 MHz, CDCl3): δ.8.14 (1H, d, J=2.2 Hz), 7.76 (1H, d, d, J=8.6 Hz, J2=2.4 Hz), 7.32 (2H, d, J=8.4 Hz), 6.80 (5H, m), 4.53 (2H, d, t, J1=47.6 Hz, J2=4.2 Hz), 4.49 (2H, t, J=4.8 Hz), 3.85 (3H, m), 3.70 (5H, m), 1.8-3.0 (2H, br); HRMS (EI) m/z calcd. for [C19H23FN2O3]+ 376.1693.
