Sodium Bicarbonate → 2-(3-Oxetan-3-yl-phenyl)-ethanol

Participants

Reaction Steps

9.0 g of tert-Butyl-dimethyl-[2-(3-oxetan-3-yl-phenyl)-ethoxy]-silane were dissolved using 200 ml of anhydrous THF and 92 ml of a 1M solution of tetra-n-butylammonium fluoride in THF added at room temperature. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3 h and then poured into 500 ml of a saturated aqueous NaHCO3-solution and extracted three times using 300 ml of EA each. The organic layer was then dried using MgSO4 and evaporated. Chromatography on silica gel using EA/HEP (gradient) yielded 4.9 g of the title compound, colorless oil.
