Procedure
KF (2.7 mg, 0.047 mmol) and kryptofix 222 (17.6 mg, 0.047 mmol) were dissolved in acetonitrile (1 ml) and added to (4-formylphenyl)methyl methanesulfonate (10 mg, 0.047 mmol) in acetonitrile (1 ml). The reaction mixture was heated to 65 degrees for 10 minutes. The crude product was purified using a silica short column and diethyl ether. (Analytical HPLC: column Phenomenex Luna 00B-4251-E0, solvents: A=water/0.1% TFA and B=CH3CN/0.1% TFA; gradient 5-50% B over 10 min; flow 2.0 ml/minute; retention time 5.1 minutes detected at 214 and 254 nm).
