Procedure
Sodium hydride (60% in mineral oil, 0.524 g, 13.1 mmol) was added to a solution of C7 (3.20 g, 10.9 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (20 mL), and the reaction mixture was heated at reflux for 1.5 hours, then allowed to sit at room temperature for 90 hours. Additional sodium hydride (1 equivalent) was added, and the reaction mixture was heated at reflux for 3 hours. After cooling to room temperature, the mixture was quenched with water, diluted with saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution, and extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic layers were dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. Purification via silica gel chromatography (Gradient: 0% to 100% ethyl acetate in heptane) afforded the product as a solid. Yield: 1.51 g, 7.12 mmol, 65%. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 8.87 (s, 1H), 8.38 (s, 1H), 8.03 (s, 1H), 4.19 (s, 3H).
