Triethylamine → HCID 68107563, compound

Placed 5% palladium on carbon (37.3 g, 50% wet, 8.76 mmol, Aldrich 330116) in a Parr bottle under nitrogen, followed by MeOH (70 mL, JT-Baker 909333). Added the crude mixture of 2-(2-fluoro-6-nitro-phenyl)-2,3-dihydrofuran and 2-(2-fluoro-6-nitro-phenyl)-2,5-dihydrofuran (15A&15B) (186.6 g, 892.1 mmol) dissolved in MeOH (117 mL), followed by NEt3 (124.3 mL, 892.1 mmol, Sigma-Aldrich 471283). Placed the vessel on a Parr shaker and saturated with H2. After adding 45 psi H2, the reaction mixture was shaken until consumption of the starting material was complete (HPLC and LCMS showed complete reaction). The reaction mixture was purged with nitrogen, filtered through Celite™ and rinsed with EtOAc. The filtrate was concentrated on a rotary evaporator giving a brown oil, which was dissolved in Et2O and washed with water (2×). The ether phase was extracted with aqueous 1N HCl (5×250 mL), which was washed with Et2O (3×) and then basified with aqueous 6 N NaOH to pH 12-14. The basic aqueous phase was extracted with CH2Cl2 (4×), and the combined organic extract washed with saturated aqueous NH4Cl, dried over MgSO4, and filtered through a pad of silica eluting with CH2Cl2 to 25% EtOAc/hexane. The desired filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure giving 16 as a light brown oil (121.8 g, 84% GCMS plus NMR purity). GCMS (Agilent HP-5MS 30 m×250 μm×0.25 μm column heating at 60° C. for 2 min to 300° C. over 15 min with a 1 mL/min flow rate) M+1: 182.0 (11.44 min). LCMS (C18 column eluting with 10-90% CH3CN/water gradient over 5 minutes with formic acid modifier) M+1: 182.10 (2.61 min). 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 6.97 (td, J=8.1, 6.3 Hz, 1H), 6.43-6.35 (m, 2H), 5.21-5.13 (m, 1H), 4.54 (s, 2H), 4.16-4.07 (m, 1H), 3.90-3.81 (m, 1H), 2.23-2.00 (m, 4H) ppm. Additional crops were obtained as follows: the combined ether phase was washed with saturated aqueous NaHCO3, brine, dried over Na2SO4, decanted, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The oil was vacuum distilled (ca. 15 torr) collecting the distillate at 101-108° C. To a stirring solution of the distilled oil in EtOH (1 volume) at 2° C. was slowly added 5 M HCl (1 eq) in iPrOH. The resulting suspension was brought to room temperature, diluted with EtOAc (3 volumes, vol/vol), and stirred for 2 hrs. The white solid was collected by filtration, washed with EtOAc, and dried under reduced pressure giving a second crop of product as the HCl salt. The mother liquor was concentrated to a slurry, diluted with EtOAc and the solid collected by filtration, washed with EtOAc, and dried in vacuo giving the HCl salt as a third crop of the product. LCMS (C18 column eluting with 10-90% CH3CN/water gradient over 5 minutes with formic acid modifier) M+1: 182.10 (2.58 min). 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 10.73 (br.s, 3H), 7.66 (d, J=8.1 Hz, 1H), 7.33 (td, J=8.2, 5.9 Hz, 1H), 7.13-7.05 (m, 1H), 5.26 (dd, J=9.0, 6.5 Hz, 1H), 4.38-4.28 (m, 1H), 4.00-3.91 (m, 1H), 2.59-2.46 (m, 1H), 2.30-1.95 (m, 3H) ppm. The overall yield from the three crops was 76%.
