Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 8,8-dimethyl-5-oxo-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-naphthalene-2-carboxylic acid 4-(tert-butoxycarbonylmethyl)phenyl ester (Compound 19, 0.11 g, 0.229 mmol) in dichloromethane (2 mL) was treated with trifluoroacetic acid (0.85 mL and stirred at ambient temperature for 2.5 h. The volatiles were distilled off in vacuo and the residue was diluted with water and extracted with ethyl acetate (×3). The combined organic phase was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered and evaporated in vacuo to afford a solid which was subjected to flash column chromatography over silica gel (230-400 mesh) using ethyl acetate as the eluent to afford the title compound (0.024 g, 25%).
