Tetrahydrofuran → 2-Tridecen-1-ol

Participants

Reaction Steps

Z-2-Tridecen-1-ol was prepared according to the method of Example 6 using 2-tridecyn-1-ol (98 mg, 0.5 mmol), rhodium(III) chloride trihydrate (1.3 mg, 0.005 mmol), copper(II) nitrate hemipentahydrate (5.8 mg, 0.025 mmol), triethoxysilane (0.21 g, 0.23 mL, 1.25 mmol), THF (2.5 mL) and water (0.5 mL) at room temperature for 8 hours to afford 96 mg (0.48 mmol, 97%) of 2-tridecene-1-ol which was a 6:1 Z:E mixture by spectroscopic analysis. Spectral analysis of the Z-isomer: IR (neat) 3337.2, 2924.8, 2854.6, 1462.6, 1016.2 cm-1 : 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 5.56 (m, 2 H), 4.17 (d, J=5.9 Hz, 2H), 2.04 (br p, 2 H), 1.24 (m, 17 H), 0.86 (t, J=6.7 Hz, 3H); 13C NMR (75 MHz, CDCl3) δ 1133.22, 58.58, 31.91, 29.62, 29.49, 29.34, 29.23, 27.44, 22.69, 15.24, 14.11.
