Participants

Reaction Steps

Pd (OH)2/C (2.0 g) and compound 7 (20.0 g, 0.104 mol) were stirred in MeOH (150 mL) at room temperature under hydrogen at 10 psi pressure for 16-18 hours. The mixture was then filtered through a pad of Celite®, and the filtrate was concentrated to give compound 15, which was used in the next reaction without further purification. 1H NMR (DMSO-d6; 400 MHz) δ 9.83 (s), δ 7.24 (s), δ 7.18 (m), δ 6.80 (m), δ 1.71 (s), δ 1.24 (s).
