Participants

Reaction Steps

At 0° C., 290 μL (3.5 mmol) of pyridine was added to 0.740 g (3.18 mmol) of rac-cis-2-(1,3-dithiolan-2-yl methyl)cyclohexanemethanol in 5 mL of dichloromethane, followed by dropwise addition of 235 μL (3.5 mmol) of acetyl chloride. After 15 min at 0° C. and 30 min at 20° C., the reaction mixture was partitioned between water and dichloromethane and the organic solution washed with 1.0 N HCl and with 5% KHCO3 solutions, dried (MgSO4) and concentrated under vacuum to 865 mg (98%) of racemic cis-2-(1,3-dithiolan-2-yl methyl)cyclohexanemethanol acetate. TLC Rf 0.48 (SiO2, dichloromethane, I2 -brown).
