Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-chloroethyl isopropyl carbonate (1.00 g) in toluene (30 mL), sodium iodide (2.10 g) and 18-crown-6 (185 mg) were added at room temperature, and the mixture was stirred at 100° C. for 5 hours. To the reaction solution, ethyl acetate was added, and the mixture was washed with water and 5% aqueous sodium thiosulfate in this order and then dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure to obtain a crude product of the title compound (1.51 g).
