Reaction Steps

To a 50 mL flask was added 5 (220 mg, 1 mmol) and 5 mL POCl3. The resulting mixture was refluxed for 2 h, and the solvent was removed under reduced pressure to afford a dark residue. To this was added 30 mL of CHCl3 and 300 mg of silica gel. The solvent was evaporated to afford a plug. Column chromatography of the plug with hexane: acetyl acetate=20:1 as eluent afford 192 g (81%) of 6 as a yellow solid: 1H NMR (DMSO-d6) δ 1.82 (m, 4H), 2.63 (s, 3H), 2.84 (m, 2H), 2.96 (m, 2H).
