Methanol → HCID 20448815, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

1.26 g (5.94 mmoles) of 4(RS)-t-butyldimethylsilyloxy-2,3-epoxy cyclopentanone and 804 mg (6.0 mmoles) of 5-hydroxy-1-pentanethiol were dissolved in 10 ml of methanol, and 606 mg (6 mmoles) of triethylamine was added. After the reaction was carried out for 10 minutes, the solvent was evaporated to give 2.1 g of a crude product. The crude product was subjected to dry column chromatography and developed with hexane/ethyl acetate (7/3) to give 710 mg (2.16 mmoles; yield 31%) of 4-t-butyldimethylsilyloxy-2-(6-hydroxyhexylthio)-2-cyclopentenone.
