Sodium hydride → Methyl Myristate

참여 물질

반응 단계

98 mg (3.3 mmol) Sodium hydride (80% in mineral oil) was added to a solution of 764 mg (2.96 mmol) methyl(R)-3-hydroxytetradecanoate in 20.0 mL tetrahydrofuran. After 25 minutes, a solution of 732 mg (3.03 mmol) 2-bromooctanoyl chloride in 10.0 mL tetrahydrofuran was added dropwise via syringe to the cloudy off-white mixture. After 10 minutes at 0° C., the reaction flask was removed from the cold bath for 24 hours. The mixture was poured into 100 mL 10% NaHCO3 and extraction with ether (3×50 mL) was performed. Drying over MgSO4 and removal of the solvent by rotary evaporation gave yellow oil. Purification by flash chromatography (3×24 cm column, 50% CH2Cl2 /hexane) gave 407 mg (30% yield based on methyl (R)-3-hydroxytetradecanoate) (R)-3-[2-bromo-1-oxooctyl)oxy]tetradecanoic acid methyl ester.
