Sulfoxonium, trimethyl-, iodide (1:1) → HCID 86704997, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Potassium t-butoxide (3.3 g, 29.4 mmol) was added to a mixture of ketone (3, 2.5 g, 18.1 mmol) and trimethylsulfoxonium iodide (6.45 g, 29.4 mmol) in dry dimethyl sulfoxide (40 mL) under nitrogen atmosphere at room temperature. The mixture was stirred for 4.0 h at room temperature. The reaction was quenched by the addition of cold water (40 mL) and extracted with ethyl acetate (2×60 mL). The combined organic layer was washed with water (75 mL) followed by brine (75 mL) and dried over sodium sulfate. The filtered organic layer was concentrated under vacuum to give an oil. Weight: 2.13 g. Weight yield: 77%. 1H-NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): δ 1.42-1.50 (m, 2H), 1.55-1.61 (m, 2H), 1.65 (s, 6H), 2.31 (t, 4H), 2.61 (s, 2H). MS (APCI method): No molecular ion peak was observed.
