Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (1,3-dithian-2-yl)trimethylsilane (5.0 g) in tetrahydrofuran at −78° C. was added n-butyllithium (1.6M, 16.24 mL). After stirring for 30 minutes, 3,3-dimethylcyclohexanone (3.3 g) was added as a solution in tetrahydrofuran and the reaction mixture was allowed to warm to room temperature. The reaction mixture was diluted with diethyl ether (100 mL), washed with water (50 mL) and brine (50 mL), dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated. Silica gel chromatography eluting with a gradient of 0.13% to 2.5% ether/hexanes gave the title compound.
