Potassium Carbonate → HCID 69853038, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 7.45 g of (1R,3R,5S)-2,2-dimethyl-propionic acid 3-acetoxy-5-(tert-butyl-dimethyl-silanyloxy)-cyclohexyl ester and 2.76 g of potassium carbonate in 52 ml of methanol and 24 ml of water was stirred at 22° for 6 h after which time t.l.c. showed completion of the reaction. The mixture was evaporated and the residue partitioned between dichloromethane and water. The organic layer was dried over MgSO4 and evaporated to give 6.49 g of the pure (t.l.c.) title compound as a white solid, m.p. 39-42°. IR (nujol): 3240m (OH), 1731s (C═O); MS (EI): 273/10 (M-tert-butyl).
