Ethyl Acetate → HCID 69122513, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Stirring was continued for six hours at 10–15° C. after which time thin layer chromatography (1/1 ethyl acetate/hexane) indicated that both the oxetane and DCC were consumed. The reaction was stopped and white solids were filtered from the red-orange solution. Next, this reaction solution was washed three times with an equivalent volume of a saturated sodium bicarbonate solution. Toluene was then stripped from the reaction in vacuo and replaced with a solution of ethyl acetate and hexane (1/1 by volume). A chromatography column was then utilized to isolate a qualitative amount of a clear yellow oil with a viscosity of 270 cPs. The compound had a weight loss of 15% at 200° C. as measured by TGA.
