Triethylamine → 2,2-Dimethyl-propionic acid 4-(4-fluoro-benzyl)-3-oxo-2-(2,4,6-trimethyl-phenyl)-cyclopent-1-enyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-(4-fluoro-benzyl)-2-(2,4,6-trimethyl-phenyl)-cyclopentane-1,3-dione (30 mg, 0.09 mmol) in dichloromethane (1 ml) and triethylamine (52 μl, 0.37 mmol) is added the pivaloyl chloride (34 μl, 0.37 mmol) at room temperature. The reaction mixture is stirred overnight at room temperature. Silica gel is added to the crude reaction mixture, the solvent is evaporated under reduced pressure and the residue is purified by flash chromatography on silica gel to give 2,2-dimethyl-propionic acid 4-(4-fluoro-benzyl)-3-oxo-2-(2,4,6-trimethyl-phenyl)-cyclopent-1-enyl ester (31 mg).
