Potassium Carbonate → diethyl 6-acetyl-3,4-dihydro-8-propyl-7-[3-[(5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-1-naphthalenyl)oxy]propoxy]-2H-1-benzopyran-2,2-dipropanoate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 204 mg (0.469 mmol) of the title product of Example 81, 378 mg (1.41 mmol) of the title product of Example 12, and 136 mg (0.985 mmol) of anhydrous potassium carbonate in 4 ml of dimethylformamide was stirred at 80° for six hours. A further 136 mg of potassium carbonate was added, and the mixture was heated for another six hours. The mixture was permitted to cool and was partitioned between ethyl acetate and dilute hydrochloric acid. The aqueous layer was further extracted with two portions of ethyl acetate. The combined organic extracts were washed with brine, dried over sodium sulfite, filtered, and the solvent removed under reduced pressure. Chromotography of the residue over silica gel using 15% ethyl acetate/toluene as eluent gave the title compound, 114 mg.
