Thionyl Chloride → 2-(1,4-Dioxaspiro[4.5]dec-7-en-8-yl)pyridine

Participants

Reaction Steps

The ketal (2 g, 8.5 mmol) obtained from step A, Example 7 was dissolved in pyridine (40 mL) and the solution was cooled in an ice bath. To it was added SOCl2 (3.1 mL, 42.5 mmol). The solution was allowed to warm to room temperature and stirring was continued overnight. The reaction was quenched by addition of ice and then water. The resulting solution was extracted with EtOAc three times. The combined EtOAc layer was dried over MgSO4 and concentrated. Flash chromatography on silica gel eluting with 0 to 55% EtOAc/hexanes provided 1.54 g of the title compound. MS calculated (M+H)+ 218, found 218.
