stir bar was added followed by 1.0-2.0 mL of toluene. The
vial was removed from the drybox, and the mixture was stirred
as rapidly as possible with a magnetic stir plate at 100 °C.
The reaction was monitored by GC, and after the consumption
of starting materials, the reaction mixture was adsorbed onto
silica gel and purified by chromatography.
