tert-Butyldimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulphonate → HCID 53920169, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of triethylsilyloxy keto diol 6 (883 mg, 2.31 mmol) in 35 mL of pyridine under nitrogen at 0° C. was added dropwise 0.485 mL (2.771 mmol) of TBSOTf. The solution was then warmed to room temperature. After 2 h at room temperature, the solution was diluted with 100 mL of hexane and poured into 150 mL of a saturated aqueous NaHCO3 solution. The organic layer was separated, and the aqueous layer was extracted with two 100 mL portions of hexane. The organic layers were combined, and washed with 50 mL of a 10% aqueous CuSO4 solution followed by 20 mL of H2O, and dried over anhydrous Na2SO4. Removal of the solvent followed by flash chromatography purification (2.5% EtOAc/hexane) to give 1.122 g of t-butyldimethylsilyloxy ketone 7 (98% yield) as a white solid.
