Participants

Reaction Steps

To 10 ml of trifluoroacetic acid was added 500 mg of 3-triphenylmethyl-5-p-hydroxyphenyl-2,4-oxazolidinedione and the reaction mixture stirred at room temperature for 10 minutes. The reaction was poured into 50 ml of water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was separated, washed with water (2×40 ml) and dried over sodium sulfate. Removal of the solvent in vacuo gave a yellow solid which was recrystallized from ethyl acetate-cyclohexane, 226 mg.
