Procedure
To a stirred solution of 20.8 g of 1 in 100 ml of dry tert-butanol was added dropwise at 5°-10° over a 30-minute period a solution of 11.2 g of potassium tert-butoxide in 100 ml of tert-butanol. The mixture then was stirred at 5°-10° for 1 hour longer. Concentration of the mixture under reduced pressure gave a dark residue which was extracted with ether and water. The ether phase was separated, dried over magnesium sulfate and Claisen distilled to give 4 as a liquid, b.p.: 73°-76° at 0.2 torr which solidified on standing, the solid having a melting point of 38°-41°.
