Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1.9 g of the compound obtained in Step C (2.3 mmol) in 4 mL of methanol there is added 0.646 g (11.5 mmol) of potassium hydroxide dissolved in 8 mL of methanol. The batch is stirred at ambient temperature for 30 minutes. The reaction mixture is then diluted with dichloromethane and washed successively with 1M HCl solution, saturated aqueous NaHCO3 solution and then brine until a neutral pH is reached. The organic phase is then dried over magnesium sulphate, filtered and evaporated. The crude product thereby obtained is purified by chromatography over silica gel (dichloromethane/methanol gradient). The solid is then dissolved in dichloromethane, and 2 mL of 1M ethereal HCl are added. The batch is stirred for 1 hour and then evaporated to dryness. The hydrochloride thereby obtained is dissolved in a mixture of water/acetonitrile until dissolution is complete, and is then lyophilised.
