Trifluoroacetic acid → HCID 60123707, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

In dry dichloroethane (350 ml) was dissolved the product (8.01 g) containing 1-cyclopropyl-2-propen-1-one described in Reference Example 2-1 and N-(n-butoxymethyl)-N-[1-(R)-phenylethyl]trimethylsilylmethylamine (23.2 g, 79.9 mmol), followed by dropwise addition of trifluoroacetic acid (500 μl). After stirring at room temperature for 12 hours, the reaction solution was washed with saturated sodium bicarbonate (100 ml) and then saturated saline (100 ml). The solution was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and, after filtration, the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was subjected to flash silica gel chromatography to obtain the title compound (9.08 g, 49.6%) as a colorless oil from the fraction eluted with n-hexane/ethyl acetate=2/1. By the way, this product was obtained as a 1:1 diastereomer mixture.
