Then, 250j (6.40 g, 22.3 mmol) and 402 mg (2.11 mmol) p-TsOH.H2O were stirred in 65 mL benzene according to decarboxylation method A. Kugelrohr distillation at 1.0 mbar and 125° C., followed by column chromatography (ethyl acetate:petroleum ether=1:4) gave 251j (1.6 g, 8.59 mmol, 39%) as a colorless oil.
