Boron trifluoride etherate → HCID 86645389, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

1.79 g (19.0 mol) of ethane-1,2-dithiol and 680 mg (4.76 mmol) of boron trifluoride etherate were added in succession at 0° C. to a solution of 2.0 g (9.5 mmol) of 3-(4-fluorophenyl)-3-oxopropyl acetate in DCM (40 ml). The mixture was then stirred for 16 h at RT and subsequently neutralized with a 10M aq. NaOH sol. Extraction with DCM (3×100 ml) was then carried out and the combined organic phases were washed with water and brine, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. CC (hexane/EA 24:1) of the residue yielded 1.8 g (6.3 mmol, 66%) of 2-(2-(4-fluoro-phenyl) -1,3-dithiolan-2-yl)ethyl acetate.
