7. 15 1 (0.27 g, 1 mmol) was refluxed in acetonitrile (150 mL) with potassium hydroxide (0.11 g, 2 mmol) for 1 h. A solution of 1,3-bis(tosyloxy)propane (0.38 g, 1 mmol) in acetonitrile (70 mL) was added dropwise and the reaction refluxed for 3 days before removing the solvent. The crude product was dissolved in dichloromethane and washed several times with water, before drying over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solvent was removed to obtain a white solid product in 75% yield.
