Triethylamine → Glyoxylic Acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

The salan compound obtained as described above in 2.1. (3 g, 0.01 mol) was qualitatively transferred to an autoclave containing methanol (100 ml), Pd/C (0.05 g) and the mixture of glyoxylic acid monohydrate (2.8 g, 0.03 mol) with triethylamine (4.0 g, 0.04 mol) in methanol (40 ml) was added to obtain a final molar ratio 1:3:4 (salan:glyoxylic acid:triethylamine). The air remaining over the reaction mixture was removed using the flow of argon stream.
