Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of benzyl 3-(trimethylsilyl)acrylate (782 mg, 3.34 mmol) in nitromethane (3 ml)was added with N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylguanidine (105 μl, 0.838 mmol) at room temperature, and the mixture was stirred for 15 hours. The reaction mixture was added with aqueous hydrochloric acid (1 N), and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with saturated aqueous sodium hydrogencarbonate and water, and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and the solvent was evaporated. The residue was purified by silica gel chromatography [hexane/ethyl acetate (14:1)] to obtain benzyl 4-nitro-3-(trimethylsilyl)butanoate (863 mg, 88%) mentioned in the title as colorless oil.
