Reaction Steps

A solution of 15 (1.44 g, 5 mmol, 1.0 equiv) and o-anisidine (16) (0.62 g, 0.56 mL, 5 mmol, 1.0 equiv) in toluene (15 mL) was refluxed overnight with H2O removal (Dean-Stark trap). The mixture was cooled to room temperature and concentrated under reduced pressure to give crude 5 as a yellow oil that was used without purification.
