Reaktionsschritte
To a solution of dihydroartemisinin (500 mg, 1.86 mmol) in dichloromethane (28 ml) at 0° C. under nitrogen was added 4-(N,N-dimethylamino)pyridine (37 mg) and trifluoroacetic anhydride (0.79 ml, 5.58 mmol). The mixture was allowed to warm to room temperature and stirred overnight. The solution was then concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by flash chromatography (SiO2; ether:hexane from 0.5:9.5 to 1.5:8.5) to give 9,10-anhydro-10-deoxoartemisinin (9,10-anhydroartemisinin) (180 mg, 25%) as a white solid.
