Sodium Bromide → 6-bromomethyl-3,5-dimethyl-4-methoxymethoxy-2H-pyran-2-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

Sodium bromide (500 mg) was added to a solution of 3,5-dimethyl-4-methoxymethoxy-6-(methylsulfonyloxy)methyl-2H-pyran-2-one (1.35 g) in DMF (20 ml), and after the stirring the mixture at room temperature for one hour, the reaction solution was concentrated under reduced pressure. Water was added to the residue, extraction was performed with AcOEt, and the organic layer was dried with Na2SO4 and then filtered and concentrated. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (n-hexane/AcOEt=1/1) to obtain 6-bromomethyl-3,5-dimethyl-4-methoxymethoxy-2H-pyran-2-one.
