p-Toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate → HCID 178418333, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1-(4-fluorophenyl)-4-(trans-4-pentyl-4-silacyclohexyl)-1-butyne-3-ol 8.0 g (24 mmol), p-toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate 1.6 g, and benzene 200 ml was heated under reflux to remove the water and then subjected to a conventional post-treatment. The reaction mixture thus obtained was not only a mixture of trans- and cis-isomers, with respect to the silacyclohexane ring, but also a mixture of E- and Z-isomers, with respect to the double bond. Hence, the product was separated by chromatography to give 1.2 g of the desired product of the trans-E isomer (yield 15.9%).
