Triethylsilane → N-(tert-Butoxycarbonyl)-D-prolinal

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (2R)-N-BOC-proline ethylthioester, prepared in Step A, in acetone were added dropwise triethylsilane (5.39 g, 46.3 mmol) and Pd/C (100 mg) at 0° C. When no further gas evolution occurred, the reaction mixture was warmed to rt and then stirred for additional 30 min. The reaction solution was filtered though Celite, the filtrate concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by column chomatography (EtOAc/Hex=1/2) to give the title compound (1.43 g, 93.2%).
