Neopentyl glycol → 2-((Benzyloxy)methyl)-5,5-dimethyl-1,3-dioxane

참여 물질

반응 단계

To a mixture of benzyloxyacetaldehyde (5 g, 33.3 mmol), 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-propanediol (4.16 g, 40 mmol) and toluene (70 ml), p-toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate (287 mg, 1.51 mmol) was added and refluxed for 4 hours while removing water by the Dean-Stark apparatus. After the reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature, triethylamine (4 ml) was added to the reaction mixture and the solvent was removed by evaporation. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (silica gel: 200 g, elution solvent: ethyl acetate/heptane=1/9) to obtain the title compound (7.6 g, yield: 96.6%) as a colorless oil.
