Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 28-2 (3.20 mg, 13.36 mmol) in EtOH (70 mL) was added 10% Pd/C (2.50 g) and AcONa (1.10 g, 13.36 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred under a hydrogen atmosphere at room temperature for 3 h, filtered, and the filtrate was concentrated. The resultant residue was dissolved in EA (100 mL) washed with sat. NaHCO3 (40 mL) and brine (30 mL), dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, filtered, concentrated and purified by silica gel column chromatography (PE/EA=30/1 to 5/1) to afford 28-3 as a yellow oil (1.32 g, yield: 62%).
