Tributylstannane → HCID 53725137, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of ethyl 2-(2,2-dibromocyclopropyloxyimino)-3,3-ethylenedioxybutyrate (syn isomer)(16.4 g) in benzene (300 ml) was dropwise added tri-n-butyltin hydride (33 ml). To the mixture was added 2,2'-azobisisobutyronitrile (0.5 g) and the resulting mixture was refluxed for 2 hours under nitrogen atmosphere. The mixture was concentrated in vacuo and the residue was subjected to column chromatography on silica gel using a mixture of chloroform and ethyl acetate (4:1 V/V) as an eluent to give ethyl 2-cyclopropyloxyimino-3,3-ethylenedioxybutyrate (syn isomer)(10.36 g) as an oil.
