Abstract

The yield of V from 111 is sensitive to the base used, time of heating, temperature, and solvent. Most of our studies involved the use of sodium carbonate since bases such as pyridine, collidine, and triethylamine did not bring about the rearrangement, while stronger bases, such as metallic hydroxides, afforded much resinous material. When ethylene glycol was used as solvent, the optimum temperature was in the 120-140O range, the optimum ...
