Dimethyl Sulfide → (E,E)-Farnesyl chloride

関与物質

反応手順

A solution of N-chlorosuccinimide (6.8 g, 50.9 mmol) in dry dichloromethane (338 ml) was cooled to -30 ° and dimethylsulfide (4.1 ml, 55.3 mmol) was added dropwise over 3 min. After 13 min., the cooling bath was removed and the mixture was stirred for 30 min. The mixture was cooled to -40 ° and a solution of (E,E)-farnesol (11.3 ml, 44 mmol) in 112 ml dichloromethane was added over 10 min. The cooling bath was removed and the mixture was stirred for 30 min. The temperature of the reaction mixture rose to 0° and a clear solution was obtained. After stirring for two more hours the solvent (about 400 ml) was removed on a rotary evaporator and the material was taken up in hexane (600 ml). The solution was washed with ice cold water (3×90 ml) and cold brine (2×35 ml) and then dried (MgSO4). The solvent was removed under vacuum at ambient temperature and finally dried under pump vacuum to give 11.0 g (100%) of title compound as a pale yellow liquid.
