Tetrahydrofuran → 4-[9-(t-Butyldimethylsilyloxy)nonyl]-7-methoxy-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-3-methylthiochroman

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-[9-(t-butyldimethylsilyloxy)-1-nonynyl]-7-methoxy-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-3-methylthiochroman (2.64 g, 4.77 mmol) in methanol (150 ml) and tetrahydrofuran (15 mg) was added 10% Pd-C (850 mg), which was then stirred at room temperature under hydrogen (atmospheric pressure) for 1 day. Ethyl acetate was added to the reaction solution. The resulting solution was filtered, extracted several times with ethyl acetate, and concentrated under reduced pressure to remove the organic solvent. Hydrogenation reaction was repeated three times under the same condition. After the organic solvent was removed, the residue was subjected to flash chromatography on silica gel (n-hexane:ethyl acetate=9:1) to give the title compound (2.20 g, yield 83%) as a colorless oil.
