Procedure

A portion of 13 (9.0 g, 28.3 mmol) was dissolved in 50 mL of dimethylformamide. Potassium carbonate (11.75 g, 85.0 mmol) and 4-nitrophenol (3.82 g, 27.5 mmol) were added. The solution was stirred at 80° C. for 16 hours. After cooling to room temperature, the solution was poured into water and extracted three times with methylene chloride. The combined organic layers were washed with water, then brine, dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered, and the solvent was removed by distillation at reduced pressure. Chromatography (silica, hexane:ethyl acetate, 1:2) was employed to isolate the product (5.71 g, 73% yield).
