Hydrochloric Acid → HCID 54279934, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Water was added to a solution of the compound of Example 4 (9.2 g, 0.0255 moles) in methyl alcohol (100 ml) until the solution became cloudy. Lithium hydroxide hydrate (1.75 g, 0.0675 moles) was added, and the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature. Periodically, water was added to make the solution cloudy. After 6 hours, the solution was made acidic with 10% hydrochloric acid and extracted with ethyl acetate. The ethyl acetate extract was dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated to give the crude product as an oil. The product was purified by silica gel chromatography. The structure assignment was supported by NMR and elemental analysis.
