Participants

Reaction Steps

Powdered sodium hydroxide (0.253 g) was added to a stirred mixture of the product from step (i) (1.5 g) and 1,1,1-trichloro-2-methylpropanol (3.0 g) in acetone (40 ml) at 0° C. After stirring at RT for 1 h the mixture was cooled to 0° C. and a further portion of sodium hydroxide (0.253 g) added. After repeating for a third time, the mixture was stirred at RT overnight, then quenched with 2M hydrochloric acid and extracted with ethylacetate. The organics were dried, evaporated under reduced pressure and the residue purified by chromatography on silica eluting with diethylether:isohexane (1:1). Yield 1.4 g
