Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To p-nitrobenzoic acid (1 g, 0.006 mole) dissolved in dioxane (20 ml) was added thionyl chloride (3 ml, 7 equivalents) and the mixture was stirred at 60° C. for 2 hours. The resulting mixture was evaporated under reduced pressure, then dioxane (20 ml) and pyridine (3 ml) were added to the resulting residue. Cyclobranol (2 g, 0.0045 mole) was added to the solution and the mixture was stirred at 60° C. for 2 hours to complete the reaction. The mixture was evaporated under reduced pressure, and the residue was extracted with chloroform (30 ml). The extract was washed successively with 3% aqueous sodium carbonate, water, and saturated brine, dried, and evaporated to dryness under reduced pressure. The crude crystals were washed with ethanol (50 ml), and recrystallized from ethyl acetate, giving cyclobranol-p-nitrobenzoate (2.28 g) in a 90% yield. m.p. 244°-245° C.
