Procedure

One gram (2.4 mmol) of (7) was dissolved in 250 ml of ether and benzene (4:1) and irradiated with stirring under nitrogen in a water-cooled quartz immersion well using a Hanovia medium-pressure UV lamp for 2 hrs. The solution was concentrated in vacuo, redissolved in 100 ml of ethanol and heated under reflux overnight. The solution was concentrated to dryness in vacuo and the residue was purified on a silica gel column using 30% ethyl acetate in hexane to yield 0.55 g (55%) of (8).
