Butanal → 2-Ethyl-4-methyl-1,3-oxathiane

関与物質

反応手順

A solution of 3-mercapto-1-butanol (106 g, 1 mol, synthesized as above) and PTSA (paratoluenesulfonic acid monohydrate, 38 g, 0.2 mol, commercially available from Sigma-Aldrich, Inc.) in 400 mL of CH2Cl2 (dichloromethane) were cooled with an ice bath. Butyraldehyde (106 mL, 1,2 mol, commercially available from Sigma-Aldrich, Inc.) was added drop wise to the solution, and the reaction mixture was stirred with cooling for half an hour and at room temperature for another 1 hour. The reaction mixture was washed twice with saturated sodium bicarbonate solution and once with brine. The organic phase was then dried with anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was removed with a rotary evaporator and the crude product was distilled under vacuum to provide 2-ethyl-4-methyl-1,3-oxathiane (98 g), which had a boiling point of 80° C. at a pressure of 10.4 mmHg.
