Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of tetrabutylammonium isobutyrate (5) (382 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (500 mL) was added compound (2) (49 g, 288 mmol). The mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 16 h then the solvent removed in vacuo. The residue was dissolved in diethyl ether (600 mL), washed with water (3×300 mL) and the organic phase was separated, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by vacuum distillation (60° C./240 mTorr) to afford the product (7) as a colorless liquid (40 g, 63%). 1H NMR (CDCl3, 400 MHz): δ 1.2 (d, 6H), 1.35 (t, 3H), 1.5 (d, 3H), 1.55 (m, 1H), 2.85 (dq, 2H), 6.95 (q, 1H).
