Procedure

A mixture of 1-bromododecane (261 mg, 0.11 mmol) and magnesium turnings (27 mg, 0.11 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (7 ml) was refluxed under argon for 1 hour. After cooling to room temperature, a solution of 5-methyl-2-trimethylsilyl-4-furaldehyde (Compound 33, 158.6 mg, 0.87 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (1 ml) was added, followed by acetic anhydride (0.25 ml, 2.6 mmol) after 1 hour. Stirring was continued at room temperature overnight and the mixture was quenched with water. Extraction (ethyl ether) and evaporation of the dried (magnesium sulphate) extracts gave an oil, which was purified by preparative TLC (20×20 cm, 1000 micron silica plate; developed with 5% ethyl ether/hexane). The title ester was obtained as a light yellow oil.
