Procedure

A solution of 4-(3-(2,6-Dimethylbenzyloxy)phenyl)-4-oxobutyric acid (Step D, 3 g, 9.6 mmol), hydrazine (1.41 ml, 28.8 mmol) and potassium hydroxide (1.61 g, 28.8 mmol) in ethylene glycol (12 ml) was refluxed for 4 h, water (18 ml) and 6 N HCl (10 ml) were added to the reaction mixture. The crude reaction mixture was concentrated, and the residue was dissolved in EtOAc, washed with water and brine, dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated. The purification was done by flash chromatography on silica gel column (chloroform:methanol 95:5 spiked with acetic acid) to provide the title compound as a white solid.
