Reaction Steps

2-[4-(Dimethylamino)phenyl]-α,5-dimethyl-1,3-dioxan-5-methanol (195 mg), dry pyridine (2.0 ml), and acetyl chloride (1.0 ml), in benzene (10 ml) were refluxed for 3 hrs. The cooled mixture was poured into water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined extracts were washed with water, dried (MgSO4), and evaporated. The residue was purified by preparative layer chromatography on silica gel (eluting with benzeneethyl acetate 5:1) and distilled to give an oil, b.p. 155°-160°/0.05 torr.
