Reaktionsschritte

rac-1-O-Benzylglycerol (5.37 g, 29.5 mmol), trityl chloride (8.31 g, 29.8 mmol) and anhydrous pyridine (35 ml) were placed in a flame-dried 200 ml round-bottomed flask. The reaction mixture was stirred under anhydrous conditions at room temperature for two days. The precipitate which formed was filtered before H2O and ether were added. The ether layer was extracted with H2O, 1N HCl and H2O, and dried (MgSO4). The solvent was removed by reduced pressure to provide a viscous yellow oil. The crude product was purified by column chromatography (180 g silica gel; hexanes:ethyl acetate, gradient 8:1 to 3:1) to yield pure compound 12, rac-1-O-benzyl-3-O-tritylglycerol (9.00 g, 72% yield).
