Procedure

To the title compound of Example 2 (0.1 moles) was added dropwise, in the cold, thionyl chloride (0.4 moles) over 35 min. After stirring for one hour, the reaction was transferred to an addition funnel and added dropwise to rapidly stirring diethyl ether (700 ml). After stirring for 20 hours, the white solid was filtered under reduced pressure and washed well with diethyl ether. The dry solid was treated with 20% sodium hydroxide (75 ml). After stirring for 30 minutes the product was extracted into diethyl ether, and the aqueous layer was washed with ether. The combined ether extracts were washed with water, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure to an oil. The oil was distilled under vacuum to yield 20.0 g of the title compound as a colorless liquid, b.p. 69°-73° C./0.04 mm Hg.
