Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of (d) (6.95 g, 21 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran/methanol (280 ml/140 ml) was treated with caesium fluoride (4.73 g, 31.4 mmol) and stirred for 18 hours.

The aqueous phase was further extracted with diethyl ether and the combined extracts dried and evaporated to give an oil (4.2 g).
