“…The product was washed with 1 N HCl (50 mL) and a saturated solution of sodium bicarbonate (50 mL) and dried with MgSO 4 . The organic layer was removed in vacuo to afford the known compound 8 61 (2.6 g, quantitative yield) as a yellow solid: 1 H NMR (400 MHz, CD 3 OD, Figure S7) δ 7.86 (d, J = 8.0 Hz, 1H), 7.38 (app. tt, J = 8.0, 1.2 Hz, 1H), 7.32−7.24 (m, 4H), 7.24−7.16 (m, 2H), 7.20−6.80 (m, 1H), 3.56 (t, J = 8.0 Hz, 2H), 2.92 (t, J = 7.6 Hz, 2H); 13 C NMR (100 MHz, CDCl 3 , Figure S8) δ 169.6, 142.4, 140.0, 138.8, 131.2, 129.0, 128.9, 128.…”
