Reaction Steps

The compound from Example 9 part (a) (1.3 g) was dissolved in a mixture of isopropanol (15 mL) and water (8 mL). Lithium hydroxide (1.3 g) was added and the reaction mixture was refluxed. After 2 hours the solution was poured into 2N HCl and the product was extracted into ether. After drying the organic phase with MgSO4 and evaporation a white solid was obtained (1.15 g, 91%).
