“…This was stirred for 2 h at room temperature followed by 3 h at 40 °C. Another 0.11 mL of the alkyne was added and the reaction solution was maintained at 40 °C for 8 h. The solution was concentrated and the resulting 0.36 g of orange crystalline solid was recrystallized from hexanes/diethyl ether to give 0.25 g (69%) of 8 as bright orange plates, mp 144.8-146.0 °C dec; UV (ethanol) 396 (400); IR, 2228,1692, 1612; XH NMR, 7.00 (m, 10), 3.47 (q of d, J = 7.0 Hz, J' = 1.6 Hz, 2), I. 98 (s, 3), 1.07 (t, J = 7.0 Hz, 3); 13C (El), m/e (relative intensity) 363 (M+, 7), 329 (100), 301 (66); MS (Cl), m/e (relative intensity) 364 (M + 1, 13), 330 (100).…”
