Reaction Steps
To a solution of the title compound from Step G (0.016 g, 0.0188 mmol) in dioxane (2 ml) at room temperature, an aqueous solution of LiOH.H2O (0.007 g, 0.16 mmol) (1 ml) was added. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 5 h. TLC (EtOAc:hexane/2:8) showed no starting material. The solvent was removed. 1N HCl (1 ml) was added. The mixture was extracted with EtOAc (3×15 ml). The combined EtOAc layers were dried over sodium sulfate. The title compound was obtained by preparative reverse phase HPLC. 1H NMR (CDCl3, 500 MHz): δ2:1 mixture of atropisomers 8.21 (s, 1H), 8.01 (s, 1H), 7.94 (d, J=7.5 Hz, 1H), 7.89 (s, 1H), 7.72 (s, 1H), 7.69 (s, 1H), 7.66 (d, J=7.5 Hz, 1H), 7.45 (m, 1H), 7.37 (m, 1H), 7.14 (m, 1H), 7.00 (m, 1H), 5.60 (d, J=8 Hz, 0.66H), 5.54 (d, J=8 Hz, 0.33H), 4.82 (d, J=7.5 Hz, 0.33H), 4.79 (d, J=8 Hz, 0.66H), 3.99 (d, J=10 Hz, 0.33H), 3.96 (d, J=9.5 Hz, 0.66H), 3.91 (m, 1H), 3.90 (s, 2H), 3.86 (s, 1H), 2.42 (s, 1H), 2.41 (s, 2H), 0.60 (d, J=7 Hz, 1H), 0.55 (d, J=6.5 Hz, 2H).
