13. 2 solution was added drop-wise into the flask with constant stirring. After complete addition, the reaction mixture was stirred for an additional hour at this temperature and for 4 h at room temperature. At this point, the flask was attached to a high-vacuum line and all of the volatiles were removed from the flask at 0 °C to collect a yellow residue that was later sublimed in vacuo at room temperature over a period of 4-5 h to isolate 3 in a detachable U-trap held at 0 °C in 52% (0.27 g, 2.34 mmol) or 60% (0.35 g, 3.05 mmol) yield based on Li or Na salt.
