Sodium hydride → HCID 76739653, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Dissolve 2.0 g (20 mmol) of cis-4-cyclopentene-1,3-diol in 1.5 ml of DMF and 15 ml of THF and, at 0° C., add 799 mg (60% strength, approx. 20 mmol) of sodium hydride in portions. After the end of the addition, warm the mixture to RT and stir at RT for a further 1 h, before adding 2.7 ml (18.2 mmol) of bromoacetic acid tert-butyl ester. Then stir the mixture at RT overnight. Then add water, extract with dichloromethane, wash the organic phase with satd. sodium chloride solution, concentrate under reduced pressure and dry the residue under high vacuum. Isolate the product by chromatography on silica gel (eluent: cyclohexane/ethyl acetate 5:1→2:1). 1.10 g (25.6% of theory) of the target compound are obtained.
