Procedure

13.4 g (0.056 mol) of methyl ester 3a 11.65 g (0.084 mol) of tropenol, and 0.3 g of sodium are heated as a melt at 75 mbar for 4 hours over a bath of boiling water with occasional agitation. After cooling, the sodium residues are dissolved with acetonitrile, the solution is evaporated to dryness, and the residue is extracted with dichloromethane/water. The organic phase is washed with water, dried over magnesium sulfate (MgSO4), and the solvent is distilled off. The product is purified by recrystallization from diethyl ether. Yield: 11.40 g of white crystals (29% of theoretical yield).
