Participants

Reaction Steps

0.12 g (0.315 mmol) of the ester from Example 5 were dissolved in 2 ml ethanol, and after addition of 0.4 ml 2 N aqueous sodium hydroxide solution the mixture was stirred overnight at room temperature. It was adjusted to pH 4 with diluted acetic acid. The solvent was removed from the clear solution under reduced pressure to leave a brown oil, which solidified by stirring with a mixture of ethanol and water. It was filtered, stirred in a small amount of hot ethanol, filtered again, and dried in vacuo.
