Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of the product of Example 4A (7.78 g, 30.16 mmol) in methanol (70 mL) was treated with Adams' catalyst (PtO2, 790 mg) and hydrogenated under 60 psi hydrogen pressure for 16 hours at 25° C. The catalyst was removed by filtration and the filtrate concentrated in vacuo to give the title compound (7.59 g, 96%). 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3): δ 7.27 (m, 5 H), 3.64 (s, 3 H), 1.99 (m, 4 H), 1.29 (m, 4 H), 1.03 (m, 4 H), 0.86 (t, J=7.17 Hz, 6 H).
