Reaction Steps

Compound (54) 200.1 mg was dissolved in a mixture of methanol 8 ml and tetrahydrofuran 4 ml. 10% Pd/C 49.8 mg was added. The mixture was stirred under hydrogen atmosphere for 18 h at room temperature. The catalyst was filtered off and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue obtained was chromatographed on aluminum oxide in chloroform:hexane (1:1) to give the titled compound as a colorless oil 198 mg. Yield 98%. This was treated with 1 eq. of oxalic acid to give the salt, which was recrystallized from ether-methanol to give colorless crystals, m.p. 193-194° C.(dec.).
