Participants

Reaction Steps

The compound 9a (30 g, 232 mmol) and CH3I (15.9 ml, 255 mmol) are placed in 300 ml of water. 18.6 g of NaOH (465 mmol) are added and the mixture is stirred for 1 h at room temperature. The reaction mixture, cooled on a bed of ice, is neutralized using 27 ml of acetic acid and then extracted with dichloromethane. The organic phases are dried (MgSO4) and then concentrated to dryness. After recrystallizing from ether, 29.9 g of compound 9b are isolated.
