Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Compound 468A (0.200 g, 1.00 mmol) was suspended in acetic acid (5.0 ML) and iron powder (325 mesh, 0.112 g, 2.00 mmol) was added. The reaction was then heated at 70° C. for 20 min and then cooled to 22° C. The reaction was filtered through Celite, rinsing with ethyl acetate. The ethyl acetate rinse was collected and washed with sat. aq. K2CO3. The aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate (3×20 mL) and the combined organic layers were dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. Concentration in vacuo gave 0.170 g (100%) of compound 468B as a yellow solid. HPLC: 88% at 1.677 min (retention time) (YMC S5 ODS column, 4.6×50 mm, eluting with 10–90% aqueous methanol over 4 min containing 0.2% phosphoric acid, 4 mL/min, monitoring at 220 nm). MS (ES): m/z 171.29 [M+H]+.
