H<br />

pentalene-4-carboxylic acid methyl ester (298a). To a solution <strong>of</strong> 297 (10 mg, 0.021 mmol) in<br />

MeOH (0.5 mL), was added benzylamine (23 µL, 0.21 mmol), AcOH (12 µL, 0.21 mmol) and<br />

molecular sieves (4 Å) (30 mg). The reaction mixture was stirred at 70 °C for 4 h. Upon<br />

completion, the reaction mixture was diluted with EtOAc and washed with 1M HCl. The organic<br />

layer was then dried over MgSO4, and the solvents removed under vacuum. The crude residue<br />

was purified by flash chromatography (gradient elution; hexanes-EtOAc, 19 : 1 to 3 : 1, v/v), to<br />

afford 298a (10 mg, 90%).<br />
