Methyl iodide → 5-Methoxyadamantan-2-one

関与物質

反応手順

To a suspension of NaH (60% dispersed in nujol, 0.96 g, 24 mmol) in THF (40 mL) cooled to ice bath temperature was added hydroxyadamantanone (3.32 g, 20 mmol) dissolved in THF (40 mL) via a syringe over a period of 15 minutes. After stirring the reaction mixture for 30 min., iodomethane (1.38 mL, 22 mmol) was added. The reaction mixture was warmed to room temperature and stirred for 16 h until TLC revealed completion of the reaction. Excess NaH was quenched by adding saturated aq. NH4Cl solution to the ice cooled reaction mixture. The two layers were separated and the aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc. The combined organic layer was washed with brine, dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure to obtain crude reaction mass which was purified by column chromatography to yield 5-methoxyadamantan-2-one (3.0 g) in 83% yield. m/z (M+1), 181; 1H NMR (CDCl3) 300 MHz δ 3.26 (s, 3H), 2.67-2.61 (m, 2H), 2.39-2.33 (m, 1H), 2.20-1.93 (m, 10H).
