Formic Acid → 2,5-Dimethylhexane-2,5-diyl bis(2-(formyloxy)acetate)

Participants

Reaction Steps

Formic acid (67) (0.921 g, 20 mmol) and triethylamine (2.226 g, 22 mmol) were combined and stirred for 30 minutes. Compound (61) (0.299 g, 1 mmol) was then added and stirred for three days. The solution was dissolved in 10 mL of ethyl acetate and the precipitate was filtered and washed with 10 mL diethylether. The combined filtrate was then washed with brine and dried with sodium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated to get dark brown viscous oil. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): δ 1.44 (s, 12H), 1.80 (s, 4H), 4.57 (s, 4H), 8.11 (s, 2H).
