Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of the product of Example 79A (0.43 g, 0.97 mmol), iron powder (0.28 g, 5.0 mmol) and ammonium chloride (0.08 g, 1.5 mmol) in an ethanol (18 mL), tetrahydrofuran (18 mL), and water (6 mL) solution was heated to reflux for 3 hours. The resultant mixture was diluted with ethanol (50 mL) and filtered through a pad of celite. The filtrate was concentrated under vacuum to a volume of 10 mL, the solution diluted with water (50 mL) and extracted with ethyl acetate (2×50 mL). The combined extracts were dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under vacuum to provide the title compound (0.41 g, 98%).
