Potassium Carbonate → HCID 20295350, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (D) (10 g) in water (5 ml), methyl formate (50 ml) and potassium carbonate (10 g) were added. The mixture was stirred for 24 hours, and the organic phase was decanted. The residue was extracted twice with methyl formate. The combined organic solutions were concentrated in vacuo, and the residue was dissolved in ether, dried and chromatographed on silica gel (50 g) with ether as eluent to give (E) as a colourless oil. The IR spectrum (chloroform) showed a strong band at 1650 cm-1.
