Hydrochloric Acid → HCID 118108867, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

14 mL of 2 mol/L hydrochloric acid was added to a mixture of 2.1 g of 5-(methoxyimino)-4-(pyridin-2-ylsulfanyl)pentan-2-yl methanesulfonate, 4.7 mL of a 36% formalin aqueous solution and 60 mL of acetone, and the obtained mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours, and then at 50° C. for 3 hours. Thereafter, the solvent was distilled away under reduced pressure, 100 mL of ethyl acetate and 100 mL of water were then added to the residue, and the water layer was then removed. The organic layer was washed with a saturated sodium chloride aqueous solution, and was then dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. After that, the solvent was distilled away under reduced pressure. The obtained residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane/acetone=3/1), so as to obtain 0.90 g of 5-oxo-4-(pyridin-2-ylsulfanyl)pentan-2-yl methanesulfonate in the form of a colorless oily product.
