Potassium Carbonate → HCID 53770721, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

IV (1.77 g, 0.00500 mole), methanol 20 ml), and 20% aqueous potassium carbonate (10 ml) were stirred and heated under reflux for 90 minutes. The methanol was removed from a water bath (60° C, 100 mm Hg). The residue was diluted with water (25 ml) and washed with ether (25 ml). The resulting clear solution was acidified to pH 5-6 with acetic acid. The resulting emulsion was extracted with ether (25 + 25 ml). The combined ethereal extracts were dried over sodium sulfate and evaporated from a water bath (60° C, 1 mm Hg) to give 1.60 g (94%) of V as a colourless oil, nD25 1.4778.
