re¯uxed for 4 h on a water bath. Alcohol was removed by
distillation and the residual mass was dissolved in CHCl3
'50 mL). This was washed with brine '2£25 mL) and dried
over anhydrous Na2SO4. Evaporation of CHCl3 afforded a
gummy mass which was subjected to column chromato-
graphy over silica gel. Elution of the column with benzene±
ethylacetate '1:1) gave compounds 4'a±f).

2.3. General procedures for the synthesis of compounds
5'a±f)
Compounds 4a±f '0.2 g, 0.67 mmol) were re¯uxed in
chlorobenzene '2 mL) for 12 h. The reaction mixture was
then cooled and directly subjected to column chromato-
graphy over silica gel. Chlorobenzene was eluted out with
petroleum ether. All the products 5'a±f) were obtained
when the column was eluted with benzene±ethyl acetate
'4:1). Unchanged starting materials 4'a±f) were also care-
fully eluted out with benzene±ethyl acetate '1:1). The yields
were calculated on the basis of actual conversion of starting
materials.
