Reaction Steps

To a stirred suspension of (R)-S-ethyl 2-(2,2-dimethyl-5-oxo-1,3-dioxolan-4-yl)ethanethioate (1.9 g, 8.7 mmol), 10% palladium on carbon (470 mg), and CH2Cl2 (20 mL) under N2, at 25° C., was added triethylsilane (2.08 mL, 13.0 mmol) dropwise over 10 minutes. The mixture was stirred at 25° C. for 1 hour. The mixture was filtered and the filtrate was evaporated to dryness under reduced pressure to give the desired aldehyde as a clear oil (1.2 g, 87%). 1H-NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 9.70 (s, 1H), 4.72 (q, J=3.5 Hz, 1H), 3.10-3.01 (m, 1H), 2.93-2.84 (m, 1H), 1.56 (s, 3H), 1.51 (s, 3H).
