Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4.39 g (10 mol.) of 5-(2-bromo-1,1-dimethoxypropyl)-2-phenylthiophenylacetate obtained in Example 1-(2), 4.20 g (50 mmol.) of sodium hydrogen carbonate, 50 ml of ethanol and 35 ml of water was heated under reflux and stirring for 5 hours. The reaction mixture was distilled to remove distillates having a boiling point of below 100° C. The residue was then heated under reflux for 4 hours. The mixture was treated in the same manner as in Example 6-(1) to obtain 2.15 g of the desired product as white crystals (yield 68%), m.p. 145°-146° C.
