Reaction Steps

1a (7.2 g, 26.5 mmol) was dissolved in a 1:1 mixture of methanol and ethyl acetate (160 mL). Palladium on charcoal (10%, 360 mg, 0.33 mmol) was added, and the mixture was stirred overnight under hydrogen atmosphere. The reaction mixture was filtered over Celite® and concentrated to afford 7.2 g (100%) of 1b as a white powder. [M+H]+=243.3.
