Abstract

Qaantitative conversion of 4 into 7 via 6 was also observed when 4 was treated with 0.5 N DCl-D20-CD30D at room temperature for 2 h (by'H NMR). The isolated yield of7 from 4 by this latter method was 85%. It is interesting to note that 6 is hydrolyzed with exclusive ring retention under such mild conditions as described above since it is known that compounds 8 and 9 are hydrolyzed rapidly with 7oY0 and nearly 100% ring opening, respectively, and ...
