Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of the product of Example 90C (0.918 g, 1.679 mmol) in ethanol (14 mL) and tetrahydrofuran (14 mL) was treated with iron powder (0.577 g, 10.33 mmol) and a solution of ammonium chloride (0.588 g, 10.99 mmol) in water (7 mL), then refluxed for one hour. The reaction was cooled, diluted with ethyl acetate (100 mL), and washed with water (3×25 mL) and brine (25 mL). The organic extract was dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated by rotary evaporation to afford the title compound as a yellow solid (0.698 g, 1.351 mmol, 80%). 1H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-D6) δ ppm 1.27 (t, J=6.99 Hz, 3 H) 4.19-4.36 (m, 3 H) 4.48 (d, J=6.62 Hz, 2 H) 5.56 (s, 2 H) 7.10 (d, J=8.09 Hz, 2 H) 7.28-7.55 (m, 7 H) 7.74 (d, J=7.35 Hz, 2 H) 7.90 (d, J=7.35 Hz, 2 H) 9.73 (s, 1 H); MS (ESI+) m/z 517 (M+H)+, 539 (M+Na)+.
