Reaction Steps

To a solution of compound C (1 g, 3.14 mmol) in methanol (10 mL) was added anhydrous FeCl3 (100 mg, 0.65 mmol) and charcoal (100 mg). The mixture was stirred at 60° C. and at that temperature hydrazine hydrate (10 mL) was added slowly where after the temperature was raised to 80° C. for 1.5 h. The reaction mixture was cooled to RT, filtered through a small pad of celite and washed with methanol. The organic layer was concentrated and washed with water, to give light brown solid D (200 mg, 22%).
