Participants

Reaction Steps

Potassium carbonate (4 g) was added to the product of stage 1 (19.5 g, 0.11 mol) in methanol (100 ml) and the mixture was stirred for 3.3 hours. The mixture was then partitioned between ether and water. The ether layer was separated, dried over sodium sulphate, and concentrated under reduced pressure to give the title compound as an almost colourless solid (11.2 g). The product was further purified by recrystallisation from hexane to give a solid of melting point 112.4° C.
