Participants

Reaction Steps

The ester from Step 1 was dissolved in TFA (18 mL). Et3SiH was added dropwise at room temperature. The reaction was stirred at room temperature overnight. The reaction was quenched with NaHCO3 and extracted with ether. The organic layer was dried over MgSO4. The filtrate was concentracted to give yellow oil, which was purified by Biotage with 3-5% EtOAc in hexane to give clear oil quantity: LCMS m/z 377.15 (M+H). 1H NMR (CDCl3/400 MHz) 7.68 (s, 1H), 7.08 (m, 4H), 6.79 (d, 1H, J=6.4 Hz), 5.68 (q, 1H, J=7.2 Hz), 4.29 (m, 2H), 3.89 (s, 2H), 2.31 (s, 3H), 1.35 (t, 3H, J=7.2 Hz).
