Dimethyl Sulfoxide → HCID 14537110, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

An oven-dried 25 ml 2-necked (14/20) round bottom flask, equipped with magnetic stirring bar nitrogen inlet and serum cap, is charged with a solution of oxalyl chloride (61 μl) in 2 ml methylene chloride. This solution is placed under a nitrogen atmosphere and cooled to -60° C. to -50° C. Dimethylsulfoxide (99 μl) is added (neat) dropwise to give a colorless solution. After 2.3 min a solution of 3-[4-methoxy-1-[(tetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-yl)oxy]-2-naphthalenyl]-1-propanol (0.19 g) in 1 ml methylene chloride is added dropwise. The resulting mixture is stirred at -60° C. to -50° C. for 15 min and then treated with triethylamine (0.44 ml). This gives rise to a yellow colored milky suspension. The cooling bath is removed and the stirred mixture is allowed to warm to room temperature at which time the mixture is diluted with water and extracted with ether. The organic phase is washed three times with water (after adjusting the pH to 7 with 10% aqueous sodium bisulfate), dried with magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated to give 0.18 g of the crude title compound as an orange colored oil.
