Thionyl Chloride → 2-(4-(Tert-butyl)phenyl)-4,4-dimethyl-4,5-dihydrooxazole

참여 물질

반응 단계

All of the 4-tert-butyl-N-(2-hydroxy-1,1-dimethyl-ethyl)-benzamide prepared above (174 mmol) was charged into a 500 mL round bottom flask fitted with a stir bar and septum. Established and maintained nitrogen atmosphere. Added 50 mL (685 mmol) of thionyl chloride dropwise over 20 min. Warmed the flask with a heat gun to dissolve some of the resin and initiate the reaction. The reaction mixture solidified. Warmed the flask with a heat gun to dissolve all the solids. Cooled to room temperature. Poured the reaction solution in a thin stream into 500 mL of stirred Et2O. A white precipitate formed. Collected the precipitate by filtration and washed thoroughly with Et2O. Dissolved the collected solids in 300 mL water and neutralized with 25% NaOH. Extracted the yellow aqueous solution with 2×200 mL Et2O. Washed the yellow extracts with 200 brine, dried over MgSO4, and removed the solvent on rotavap to obtain 28.50 g of the title compound as a waxy white solid. MS (ESI) 232 (M+H)+.
