Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 5 (1.05 g, 2.65 mmol), sodium methoxide (4.62M in methanol, 1.43 mL, 6.63 mmol) and methanol (50 mL) was heated at reflux for 2 h. The solvent was removed in vacuo and sat. sodium bicarbonate was added. The resulting mixture was extracted with methylene chloride (3×). The combined organic extracts were dried with magnesium sulfate (anh.) and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo to give an oil which was triturated with hexane/ethyl acetate to give 6 as a white solid (805 mg, 77%)
