Triethylamine → (1RS,2SR,6RS,7SR)-4-(3,5-dimethylbiphenyl-4-yl)-5-oxo-10-oxa-tricyclo[5.2.1.02,6]dec-3-en-3-yl 2,2-dimethylpropionate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (1RS,2SR,6RS,7SR)-4-(3,5-dimethylbiphenyl-4-yl)-10-oxa-tricyclo-[5.2.1.02,6]decane-3,5-dione (80 mg, 0.23 mmol) in dichloromethane (5 ml) and triethylamine (140 μl, 1 mmol) is added pivaloyl chloride (124 μl, 1 mmol) at room temperature. The reaction mixture is stirred overnight at room temperature. Silica gel is added to the crude reaction mixture, the solvent is evaporated under reduced pressure and the residue is purified by column chromatography on silica gel to give (1RS,2SR,6RS,7SR)-4-(3,5-dimethylbiphenyl-4-yl)-5-oxo-10-oxa-tricyclo[5.2.1.02,6]dec-3-en-3-yl 2,2-dimethylpropionate.
