Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 6-(4-methoxyphenyl)-[1,4]-dioxepan-6-ol (6.20 g, 0.028 mol) in CH2Cl2 was added triethylsilane (3.53 g, 0.031 mol) and trifluoroacetic acid (35.1 g, 0.31 mol). The reaction mixture was allowed to stir overnight. The reaction was made basic with K2CO3 solution until pH=10. The organic layer was dried (MgSO4), filtered and evaporated to dryness to give the desired product as a red oil (5.84 g, 100%).
