Procedure

The product from Example 2A (7.0 g, 50 mmol) in water (100 mL) at 0° C. was treated slowly with concentrated sulfuric acid (30 mL) at a rate to maintain the temperature below 10° C. and then treated dropwise with an aqueous solution of sodium nitrite (3.45 g, 50 mmol). This solution was then added to a solution of potassium iodide (8.13 g, 50 mmol) in water (15 mL), heated to 60° C. for 2 hours, cooled and extracted with methylene chloride. The methylene chloride layer was washed with 10% sodium hydroxide, washed with 1M sodium thiosulfate, washed with 10% hydrochloric acid, washed with aqueous sodium bicarbonate, dried (sodium sulfate), filtered, and concentrated. The residue was purified by flash chromatography over silica gel (ethyl acetate/hexane 7:3) to provide 6.4 g of the title compound.
