Reaction Steps

112 (1.2 g, 2.6 mmol) is dissolved in 30 ml of a 1:1:1 mixture of THF, ethanol and water. And after addition of KOH pellets (742 mg, 13.2 mmol) the mixture is stirred for 2 h (TLC control) at 85° C. Then the organic solvent are removed under reduced pressure. The residue is cooled to 0° C. and treated with 2M HCl. The crude product is filtered off and dried under high vacuum. The crude product (800 mg) is recrystallized from ethyl acetate.
