Reaction Steps

5 (1 g, 3.027 mmol) was dissolved in a small volume of MeOH and 4M HCl in dioxane (15 mL) was added slowly to the stirring solution. The reaction mixture was stirred for 6 hours at which point TLC showed completion of reaction. Excess solvent was evaporated under vacuum to obtain a brown coloured solid 7. The solid product was subjected to flash chromatography (n-hexane/EtOAc 9:1) to give pure 7 (065 g, 94.2%).
