Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Compound 14 (2000 g, 5.468 mol) was introduced into the reactor. Dowtherm (4.000 L) was charged to the reactor and degassed at room temperature overnight with nitrogen purge. It was then stirred and warmed to 260° C. EtOH produced was distilled off. The reaction was monitored and was complete after 5.5 h. The heat source was removed and the reaction mixture was cooled to 80° C. and heptane (2.000 L) was charged. The mixture was stirred for 30 min. Heptane (6.000 L) was charged to the stirred mixture and stirring continued overnight. Solids were filtered off and washed with heptane (4.000 L) and dried in a vacuum oven at 50° C. to provide Compound 15.
