Participants

Reaction Steps

To 9 (1 g, 4.53 mmol) was added 25 ml of acetic anhydride and 5 ml of pyridine, and the reaction was allowed to stir at RT for 30 minutes. Upon removal of solvent in vacuo, the residue was taken into ethyl acetate and washed with 1 N HCl (2×30 ml), water (2×30 ml) and brine (2×30 ml). The organic layer was dried over anhydrous Na2SO4 and concentrated in vacuo to afford 10 (30% yield). 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.71 (d, J=8.9 Hz, 1H), 7.23 (d, J=5.6 Hz, 1H), 7.24 (s, 1H), 6.47 (s, 1H), 2.94 (s, 2H), 2.33 (s, 3H). MS (ESI): m/z 263.0 [(M+H)]+.
