Sodium hydride → HCID 89452004, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 55% sodium hydride (128 mg) in tetrahydrofuran (15.0 mL) was added benzyl 2-(dimethoxyphosphoryl)propanoate (796 mg) under ice-cooling, followed by stirring for 30 minutes under ice-cooling. Subsequently, a solution of 4-{[tert-butyl(dimethyl)silyl]oxy}-2-chlorobenzaldehyde (720 mg) in tetrahydrofuran (3.00 mL) was added thereto, followed by stirring at room temperature for 4 hours. To the reaction mixture were added a saturated aqueous ammonium chloride solution, water, and ethyl acetate, and the organic layer was extracted. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure. To a solution of the residue in tetrahydrofuran (10.0 mL) was added a 1 M solution of tetra-n-butylammonium fluoride in tetrahydrofuran (2.70 mL) under ice-cooling, followed by stirring for 30 minutes under ice-cooling. After completion, to the reaction mixture were added a saturated aqueous ammonium chloride solution, water, and ethyl acetate, and the organic layer was extracted. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane-ethyl acetate) to obtain benzyl (2E)-3-(2-chloro-4-hydroxyphenyl)-2-methylacrylate (587 mg).
