Dimethylformamide → 4-((Tert-butyldimethylsilyl)oxy)-4-methylpent-2-ynal

Temperature

-78 °C

To the solution of 10 g (50 mmol) of 3-(tert.butyldimethylsilyl)oxy-3-methyl-butyne in 25 ml. of anhydrous tetrahydrofuran cooled at -78° C. in an argon atmosphere was added dropwise over a 40 minute period 40 ml (0.64 mmol) 1.6M solution of N-butyl lithium in hexane, which was followed by addition of 31 ml (400 mmol) of N,N-dimethylformamide. The reaction mixture was stirred for an additional one-half hour at -78° C., and then quenched by addition of ice and pouring into 300 ml of brine. It was then extracted with pentane. The pentane extract was washed with saturated ammonium chloride solution, water and brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and evaporated to dryness. The crude product was purified by distillation at 113°-115° C./25 mmHg. It gave 8.88 g (78%) of the title compound.
