Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of isobutyryl chloride (10 mL, 94.7 mmol) and zinc (II) chloride (25 mg, 186 mmol) was added isobutyraldehyde (10.4 mL, 113.6 mmol) at −20° C. The reaction was stirred at 0° C. for 1 h, then at rt for another 2 h. The mixture was filtered through a short silica gel column (100% PE). The solution was concentrated in vacuo at 40° C. and the resulted oil was distilled at 75° C. under reduced pressure to give the title compound as colorless oil (13.48 g, 79.3%). The title compound was characterized by 1H NMR as shown below:
