Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-(2,5-bis(benzyloxy)-3,4,6-trimethylphenyl)butanal (450 mg, 1.12 mmol) in DMF (11.5 mL) was added Oxone (350 mg, 1.12 mmol) giving a cloudy white solution. The suspension was stirred vigorously overnight and poured over 10 mL 2.5 M HCl and stirred until the solution clarified. Isopropyl acetate (iPrOAc) (25 mL) was added after the exotherm subsided. The organics were washed 2×10 mL 2.5 M HCl, 1×10 mL saturated aqueous NaCl and dried over Na2SO4. Concentration gave 435 mg of 4-(2,5-bis(benzyloxy)-3,4,6-trimethylphenyl)butanoic acid as a white solid. MS M++H at 419 m/z;
