Participants

Reaction Steps

5.5 g (30 mmol) of the chloro compound (Example 1, Step B) and 4.0 g (30 mmol) of N-chlorosuccinimide were dissolved in 150 ml chloroform, stirred for 4 h at room temperature, and finally heated for some minutes on a steam bath. The mixture was poured on to ice water, the aqueous layer extracted with dichloromethane, the combined organic layers washed twice with saturated sodium carbonate solution, dried over sodium sulfate, and evaporated in in vacuo. The title compound was obtained as an oil after chromatography on silica gel with dichlormethane.
