Reaction Steps

Into a reactor was added 6 (3.81 kg, 15.5 mol), potassium carbonate (4.3 kg, 31.1 mol), 9 (5.27 kg, 14.1 mol) and methanol (63 L). The suspension was warmed to 50 to 55° C. and stirred for a minimum of 24 h until ≧96.0% conversion was obtained by HPLC analysis. Methanol (10 L) and water (37 L) were added while maintaining the temperature between 50 and 55° C. The pH of the mixture was adjusted to 3.0 to 4.0 using 7% w/w HCl (prepared from 7.0 kg of concentrated HCl and 24 L of water) while maintaining the temperature between 50 and 55° C. The suspension was cooled to 20 to 25° C. over a minimum of 1 h and stirred for at least 60 min. The resulting suspension was filtered and washed with water (2×26.3 L) at 50 to 55° C. and methanol (2×10 L) at 20 to 25° C. The wet cake was dried at 45 to 50° C. under vacuum to provide 5.85 kg (80% yield) of Formula (II). 1H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 12.07 (s, 1H), 10.22 (s, 1H), 8.72 (s, 1H), 8.29 (d, J=8.8 Hz, 1H), 7.95 (s, 1H), 7.80 (dd, J=2.4, 8.9 Hz, 1H), 7.70 (d, J=8.8 Hz, 1H), 7.39 (m, 3H), 7.21 (s, 1H), 6.89 (s, 2H), 3.82 (s, 6H); MS (ESI) m/z MS (ESI) m/z 517.2 (M−H+, 45%).
