Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred suspension of 1.53 g (6.83 mmol) of 4-hydroxy-7-formyl-fluoren-9-one, prepared in Step G of Example 43, in 25 mL THF at 0° C. was added 1.24 mL (8.88 mmol) of triethylamine and 0.58 mL (8.2 mmol) of acetyl chloride. The mixture was stirred further for 0.5 hour and then partitioned between EtOAc, ice, 1N HCl, and brine. The organic phase was separated, washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4, filtered, evaporated, and dried in vacuo. Purification by chromatography on silica gel using methylene chloride as eluant gave 1.46 g of the title compound.
