Reaction Steps

A solution of B1 (2.41 g, 10.1 mmole), ethyl acetate (1.31 g, 10.1 mmole) and p-toluenesulfonic acid (70 mg) in benzene (50 ml) is heated at reflux for 2 h. during which 10 ml of solvent is removed by distillation. After evaporation, the residue is added to boiling diphenyl ether (10 ml) and heating is continued for 1 h; then the solution is cooled and poured into high boiling petroleum ether with vigorous stirring.
