Reaction Steps

The product of step v) (0.2 g) and diethoxymethyl acetate (10 ml) were stirred at ambient temperature under nitrogen for 1 hour, then at 80° for 24 hours. Evaporation afforded a residue which was treated with liquid ammonia (15 ml) in an autoclave at 60° for 16 hours. The ammonia was allowed to evaporate and the residue taken up in 0.5M hydrochloric acid (10 ml) at 60° for 45 min. The volatiles were removed in vacuo and the remaining material dissolved in water (10 ml). Upon neutralisation with concentrated ammonia the sub-title compound crystallised and was collected and dried (0.15 g).
