Reaction Steps

9-(N-Methylcarbamoyloxy)xanthene (4.0 g., 15.7 mmoles) was stirred with 20 ml. of 2-methyl-2-propen-1-ol for 20 hours at room temperature, and the mixture was then filtered. The filtrate was evaporated in vacuo and the residue was dissolved in ice-cold ether and washed twice with ice-cold portions of 10% aqueous acetic acid, water, and 5% aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution. After drying over potassium carbonate, the solvent was removed in vacuo, and the resulting oil was distilled to give (2-methyl-2-propen-1-yl) 9-xanthenyl ether, b.p. 116°C. at 0.15 mm.
