Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 250 mg (1.84 mmole) of the title compound of Example 2 in 4 ml of dimethylformamide was treated successively with 200 mg (3 mmole) of imidazole and 300 mg (2 mmole) of triethylsilyl chloride. After stirring for thirty minutes, the reaction mixture was diluted with ether, washed with water, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated to dryness. The crude material was chromatographed on silica gel to give 0.37 g of the title compound as an oil. Structure assignment was confirmed by the proton nmr spectrum: 2.13 (t, J=2 Hz, ≡C--H), 3.08 (mult, --CH2 --C≡), 4.90 (mult, C-11), ##STR7##
