34. This oxidation method is also applicable to gram scale conditions, and 2 was obtained in 80% yield when using 1 as substrate under similar conditions mentioned above.
35. A solution of 1 (50 mg, 0.269 mmol) and bromine (0.027 mmol) in dry ethyl acetate (5 mL) in a pyrex glass test tube was irradiated in the sun for 10 h. The work-up was the same as in the Experimental section.
