The reaction mixture was then evaporated to dryness at 40-C. Then the tosylate of S-(-)-lactic acid ethyl eater (54.4 mg. 0.2 moles) and 3 mL of acetone were added to the residue of BR-1%~ his-tetra-n-butyl -niw propionate salt, which was not isolated and purified, and the acetone solution was heated at reflux for 12 h.
