Sodium hydride → HCID 19991603, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of dimethyl-2-oxotridecylphosphonate (984 mg. 3.21 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (25 ml) was added to a suspension of sodium hydride (78 mg, 3.21 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (5 ml) at 0° C. (u.c.) under argon. After 30 min, a solution of 5-trimethylsilyl-3-furaldehyde (450 mg. 2.68 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (15 ml) was added. Stirring was contained overnight while the cooling bath attained room temperature. The reaction mixture was quenched with saturated ammonium chloride and the organic layer separated. Evaporation of the dried (magnesium sulfate) organic layer gave a residue, which was purified by flash chromotography on a silica using 5% ethyl acetate/hexane to give the title compound.
