Reaction Steps

N-[2-(2-Methyl-6,7-dihydro-8H-indeno[5,4-d][1,3]oxazol-8-ylidene)ethyl]acetamide (63.5 mg, 0.248 mmol) was dissolved in toluene (2.5 mL), sulfuric acid (24.3 μL, 0.248 mmol) was added, and the mixture was stirred at 100° C. for 5 hr. To the reaction solution was added saturated aqueous sodium hydrogencarbonate solution. The mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate and washed with saturated brine. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (ethyl acetate/methanol=100/0→90/10) to give the title compound (40.0 mg, yield 63%).
