Reaction Steps

The product obtained at (655b) (15.5 g, 2.97 mmol) was combined with a mixture of potassium tert.-butylate (6.00 g, 53.5 mmol) and 400 mL ethanol, that was stirred at ambient temperature already for 15 min. After stirring for 1 h, 400 mL ethanol were added. After further 1 h of stirring, potassium tert.-butylate (500 mg, 4.46 mmol) was added.
