Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of Example 801A (500 mg, 2 mmol), 5% Pt/C and acetic acid (50 mL) was equipped with a balloon of hydrogen gas and stirred at room temperature. When the reaction was complete, the solution was filtered through Celite. The mixture was treated with 50% sodium hydroxide solution until pH reached 10. Filtration provided 267 mg (60%) of the desired product as a yellow solid. MS (ESI) m/e 223 (M+H)+.
