4.7. Salaprinol (3)
A suspension of 10% palladium on carbon (50 mg) in 80%
aqueous acetic acid (1 ml) was pre-equilibrated with hydrogen. To
the suspension was added a solution of a ca. 10:1 mixture of 15 and
14 (36 mg, 0.09 mmol) in 80% aqueous acetic acid (2 ml), and the
mixture was hydrogenated at room temperature under atmo-
spheric pressure until the uptake of hydrogen ceased. The catalyst
was filtered and washed with a mixture of methanol and water. The
combined filtrate and the washings were evaporated to give a col-
orless viscous oil (31 mg), which on column chromatography
(CHCl3–MeOH–H2O, 10:5:1) gave a solid (23.8 mg, 86%). The solid
