Tetrabutylammonium Fluoride Trihydrate → 1-Acetoxy-6-(10-acetoxydecyl)-2,3-dimethoxy-4-hydroxy-5-methylbenzene

Participants

Reaction Steps

1-Acetoxy-6-(10-acetoxydecyl)-4-tert-butyldiphenylsilyloxy-2,3-dimethoxy-5-methylbenzene (0.483 g) was dissolved in tetrahydrofuran (5 ml), and tetrabutylammonium fluoride trihydrate (0.5 g) was added. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes. After concentration under reduced pressure, the residue was subjected to column chromatography on silica gel and eluted with hexane/ethyl acetate (7:3) to obtain the desired compound (0.24 g).
