Reaction Steps

Title product of Example D1 (0.28 g, 1.0 mmole ) in 2 ml of acetone was stirred under N2 with Na2CO3 (0.21 g, 2 mmoles) for 1 hour. Ethyl iodide (2.28 ml) and 0.5 g Na2CO3 were then added. The mixture was refluxed for 11 hours, cooled, salts removed by filtration and the filtrate stripped of solvent in vacuo. The residue was chromatographed on silica gel (15 cm×3.5 cm), eluting with 1:1 ethyl acetate:hexane. The resulting oil was crystallized from toluene/pentane to yield purified title product; 51.5 mg; 17%; m.p. 99°-102°.
