Reaction Steps

Methyl (2RS)-3,3-diphenyl-3-hydroxy-2-(3,4-methylenedioxybenzyl)propanoate (0.309 g, 0.79 mmol) was dissolved in methanolic HCl (60 ml) (prepared by passing HCl gas through MeOH at 0° C.). After 4 days at ambient temperature the MeOH was removed by evaporation and replaced with fresh methanolic HCl. After a further 2 days the methanol was evaporated. The residue was recrystallized (MeOH) to give the title compound as a colorless solid (69 mg, 23%).
