Procedure

Dodecylmagnesium bromide (a 1.0 M solution in tetrahydrofuran; 14.3 ml; 14.3 mmol) was added to a solution 2-trimethylsilyl-3-furaldehyde (Compound 12, 1.20 g, 7.1 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (20 ml). When all the aldehyde was consumed, as monitored by tlc, acetic anhydride (2.02 ml, 21.4 mmol) was added. Stirring was continued at room temperature for 14 hours. The mixture was quenched with water and was extracted with ethyl ether. Evaporation of the dried (magnesium sulfate) extracts gave an oil, which was purified by a silica column using 2% ethyl ether/hexane to give the titled furan.
