3-[4-(Trimethylsilyl)-2,3-dihydrofuro[2,3-b]pyridin-5-yl]propanal → 1,6,7,8-tetrahydro-2H-cyclopenta[d]furo[2,3-b]pyridin-8-ol

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of tetrabutylammonium difluorotriphenylsilicate (43.3 mg, 0.802 mmol) in 1,2-dimethoxyethane (3 mL) heated to 70° C. was added dropwise a solution of 3-[4-(trimethylsilyl)-2,3-dihydrofuro[2,3-b]pyridin-5-yl]propanal (100 mg, 0.401 mmol) in 1,2-dimethoxyethane (1 mL). After dropwise addition, the reaction solution was diluted with saturated aqueous ammonium chloride solution, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with saturated brine and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure and the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (ethyl acetate/hexane=30/70→100/0) to give the title compound (50.4 mg, yield 71%).
