Acetonitrile → 3-Acetoxycyclohexene

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1.100 g of the copper complex of N-salicylidene-3-amino-3-deoxy-1,2-O-isopropylidene-5-O-triphenylmethyl-α-D-ribofuranose, 0.70 g of copper powder, 15 ml of acetonitrile, 5 ml of acetic acid, 15 ml of cyclohexene and 5 of t-butyl peroxybenzoate was stirred at room temperature for 9 hours in a nitrogen atmosphere. After filtering the reaction solution, the filtrate was treated in the same manner as in Example 1 to obtain 1.80 g of 2-cyclohexenyl acetate.
