Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A solution of the product of Example 10D (1.8 g, 6.4 mmol) in acetic acid (70 mL) was treated with iron powder (1.43 g, 25.5 mmol), stirred at 50° C. for 7.5 h and concentrated. A mixture of the residue in 5% methanol in dichloromethane (60 mL) and water (6 mL) was filtered through silica gel (20 g), and rinsed with 5% methanol in dichloromethane (300 mL). The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo and the residue was chromatographed on silica gel, eluting with methanol in dichloromethane to give the title compound (1 g, 62%). 1H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-d6): δ 6.94 (s, 2 H), 6.61 (s, 2 H), 6.28 (s, 1 H), 4.66 (s, 2 H), 4.53 (s, 2 H), 3.30 (s, 3 H).
