Reaction Steps

To a stirred suspension of compound 2 (3.0 g., 0.023 mole) in dry acetonitrile (40 ml), a solution of DBU (3.54 g., 0.023 mole) in 10 ml of dry acetonitrile was added dropwise, keeping the temperature of the mixture below 25° C. To the resulting solution was added dropwise a solution of benzyl bromide (4.0 g., 0.023 mole) in 15 ml of dry acetonitrile at room temperature. After stirring for 5 hours, the mixture was poured into water, and extracted with ether. The ether extract was washed with water, dried (MgSO4) and concentrated to give an oil which solidified upon standing, 4.3 g. The solid recrystallized from ethanol/hexane mixture as plate-like crystals: mp 48.5°-50.5° C.; IR (KBr) 1695, 2180 cm-1.
