Diethyl Malonate → HCID 67099636, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of diethyl malonate (3.96 mL, 26.2 mmol) in ACN (52.4 mL) at 0° C. was added MgCl2 (2.74 g, 28.8 mmol) in one portion. TEA (7.30 mL, 52.4 mmol) was added dropwise, and the reaction mixture was allowed to warm to ambient temperature and stirred for 3 hours. 4-Phenyl-tetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-carboxylic acid (5.13 g, 24.9 mmol) was converted to the acid chloride by addition of thionyl chloride and reaction at 65° C. for 1 hour. The resulting acid chloride solution was then concentrated in vacuo, dissolved in ACN, and added to the initial reaction mixture. The resulting mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 2 hours and then diluted with 200 mL of EtOAc, added to a separatory funnel, partitioned with water, washed 2 times with 75 mL of water, separated, dried over Na2SO4, and concentrated in vacuo to give the title compound without further purification. MS m/e=349 (M+H)+.
