Participants

Reaction Steps

160 mg of the resulting alcohol compound was dissolved in 3 ml of anhydrous ethyl ether. Thionyl chloride (73 microliters) was added, and under ice cooling, the mixture was stirred for 3 hours. After the reaction, the reaction mixture was washed with a saturated aqueous solution of sodium chloride and 5% sodium hydrogen carbonate to give an ethyl ether solution of the captioned compound. It was used directly in the reaction of Example 58.
