Participants

Reaction Steps

88 mg (0.275 mmole) of (+)-2,2,8-trimethyl-5-(4-chloro-α-hydroxybenzyl)-pyrido-[4,3-e]-1,3-dioxane are poured into a 5 ml flask, dissolved in 1 ml of methylene chloride and the flask is sealed under an atmosphere of nitrogen. 22 μl (0.27 mmole) of anhydrous pyridine are injected via a glass syringe. 36 μl (0.54 mmole) of thionyl chloride are then added dropwise. At disappearance (2 hours later) of the starting material (checked by TLC), the solvent is evaporated off under reduced pressure.
