Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of Example 652 (0.74 g, 3.47 mmol) and potassium carbonate (1.45 g, 10.41 mmol) in methanol (3 mL) was stirred at room temperature for about 2 hours. The solution was poured into water and was extracted with diethyl ether. The combined organic extracts were dried (MgSO4), filtered and concentrated under vacuum to provide Example 653. 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 3.49 (s, 1H), 7.01 (s, 1H), 7.25 (m, 1H), 7.35 (m, 1H), 7.46 (m, 1H), 7.56 (m, 1H).
