Participants

Reaction Steps

A suspension of the compound 10a in 6N HCl (25 mL) was refluxed for 35 min. The cooled solution was poured in a 10% bicarbonate solution, extracted using ethyl acetate (3×25 mL). The organic layer was washed with brine, and finally dried over magnesium sulphate to give of desired compound 11a (950 mg, 95%) which was used as such in the next step. 1H NMR (300 MHz, Acetone-d6) δ: 1.54 (s, 6H), 7.81 (broad s, 1H), 8.17 (m, 2H), 8.26 (s, 1H).
