Potassium bisulfate → 2-Ethoxycarbonyl-5-t-butyldiphenylsilyloxy-3,4-dihydronaphthalene

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-hydroxy-2-ethoxycarbonyl-5-t-butyldiphenylsilyloxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene (5.9 g) in toluene (100 ml) was added KHSO4 (2.0 g). The mixture was stirred for 1 hour under reflux, and then the cooled solution was washed with sat. NaHCO3 and brine. The dried solvent was evaporated in vacuo and the residue was purified by chromatography on silica gel to give 2-ethoxycarbonyl-5-t-butyldiphenylsilyloxy-3,4-dihydronaphthalene (7.4 g).
