Tetrabutylammonium Fluoride → HCID 59279518, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Tetrabutylammonium fluoride (1M in THF) (2071 μl, 2.07 mmol) was added to (S)-methyl 2-(tert-butyldiphenylsilyloxy)-4-(methylsulfonyl)butanoate (Intermediate AA3) (450 mg, 1.04 mmol) in THF (3106 μl) under nitrogen. The resulting mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 2 hours. The reaction mixture was quenched with saturated NH4Cl (10 mL), extracted with Et2O (3×15 mL). The combined organic layers were back washed with water (10 mL), dried (MgSO4) and evaporated. The crude product was purified by flash silica chromatography, eluting with 0 to 100% ethyl acetate in isohexane to afford the product (120 mg, 59%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 2.10-2.20 (1H, m), 2.38-2.46 (1H, m), 2.94 (4H, m), 3.10-3.24 (2H, m), 3.84 (3H, s), 4.34 (1H, q), 7.26 (3H, s).
