Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

The product of Example 70C (1.43 g, 5.23 mmol) in absolute ethanol (200 mL) was treated with dry 10% Pd/C (0.122 g) and triethylamine (10.4 mL). The reaction mixture was stirred at 60° C. for 6 hours under H2 (60 psi), filtered and the filtrate concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by column chromatography (5% methanol/CH2Cl2) to provide the title compound as light brown oil (0.93 g, 67%). MS (ESI+) m/z 216 (M+H)+, (ESI−) m/z 214 (M−H)−; 1H NMR (DMSO-d6, 300 MHz) δ 1.17 (t, J 7.1, 3H), 4.09 (q, J 7.1, 2H), 4.17 (s, 2H), 7.64 (m, 1H), 7.72 (d, J 6.2, 1H), 7.81 (d, J 5.7, 1H), 8.07 (d, J 7.9, 1H), 8.54 (d, J 6.1, 1H), 9.33 (s, 1H).
