Reaction Steps

To a solution of 25 g potassium hydroxide in 500 ml ethanol was added 25 g (0.051 mole) 3-octadecanesulfinyl-2-naphthyl acetate. The mixture was stirred at room temperature in a nitrogen atmosphere for 1.5 hr. then acidified with 5% hydrochloric acid. The solid was collected, dried, and recrystallized from hexane-ethyl acetate to give 17 g of light pink solid, m.p. 107°-108° C.
