Tetrabutylammonium Fluoride → 4-([(5,5-Dimethyl-5,6-dihydro-8-(2-thienyl)-naphthalen-2-yl)carbonyl]oxy]-benzoic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-trimethylsilylethyl 4-[[(5,5-dimethyl-5,6-dihydro-8-(2-thienyl)-naphthalen-2-yl)carbonyl]oxy]-benzoate (Compound E10, 100.0 mg, 0.198 mmol) in 2.0 mL THF at room temperature was added 155.3 mg of tetrabutylammonium fluoride (0.594 mmol 0.6 mL of a 1M solution in THF). After stirring overnight the reaction was diluted with EtOAc and washed with H2 0 and saturated aqueous NaCI before being dried over MgSO4. The solvents were removed under reduced pressure and the residue washed with hot acetonitrile leaving the product as a colorless solid.
