Sodium Bicarbonate → 2-(3-Oxetan-3-yl-phenyl)-ethanol

Participants

Reaction Steps

9.0 g of tert-butyl-dimethyl-[2-(3-oxetan-3-yl-phenyl)-ethoxy]-silane and 92.3 ml of a 1 N solution of tetra-n-butylammonium fluoride were dissolved in 200 ml of anhydrous THF. The mixture was stirred for 3 h at room temperature. Then the mixture was poured into 200 ml of a saturated aqueous solution of sodium hydrogencarbonate and extracted three times with 500 ml each of EA The combined organic layers were dried with magnesium sulfate and evaporated. The residue was purified by silica gel chromatography (HEP/EA gradient) to yield 4.9 g of the title compound.
