Sodium Chloride → 2,6-Dichloro-4-[3-((tert-butyldimethylsilanyloxy))-2-(tert-butyldimethylsilanyloxymethyl)-propoxy)-benzaldehyde

Participants

Reaction Steps

3.43 g (18 mmol) A1, 7.40 g (18 mmol) methanesulfonic acid 3-(tert-butyldimethylsilanyloxy)-2-(tert-butyldimethylsilanyloxymethyl)propyl ester (Kim, H. S., et al., J. Med. Chem. 44 (2001) 3092-3108), 3.72 g (27 mmol) potassium carbonate and 41 mg (0.15 mmol) 18-crown-6 were stirred in 40 ml dimethylformamide at 40° C. overnight. 600 ml ethyl acetate and 250 ml aqueous NaCl were added. The organic layer was washed four times with saturated aqueous NaCl (80 ml each), dried over sodium sulfate and evaporated to dryness. Column chromatography of the residue on SiGel (heptane/ethyl acetate 10:1) yielded 508 mg (27%) A26.
