Dimethylformamide → HCID 54479667, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

8.1 g of 5-bromo-1-(tetrahydropyran-2-yloxy)indane was dissolved in 100 ml of anhdyrous tetrahydrofuran under a nitrogen atmosphere. To the solution was dropwise added 20 ml of a 1.5N n-butyllithiumhexane solution at -65° C. in 10 minutes. The resulting mixture was stirred at the same temperature for 5 minutes. Thereto was added 2.3 ml of anhydrous N,N-dimethylformamide. The reaction mixture was heated to room temperature and added to a mixture of 100 ml of ice water, 100 ml of diethyl ether and 2 g of ammonium chloride. The organic layer was separated, washed with water and a saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution in this order, and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was removed by distillation under reduced pressure. The residue thus obtained was purified by column chromatography (eluant: toluene/ethyl acetate=15/1) to obtain 6.5 g of 5-formyl-1-(tetrahydropyran-2-yloxy)indane.
