Acetic Acid → HCID 88213798, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

28 ml of a 30% solution of sodium methanolate in methanol are added at room temperature to 31.6 g of 1-(4-[{dimethyl-(4-fluorophenyl)-silyl}methoxy]phenyl)-propan-2-one in 300 ml of methanol, and 27 ml of isopentyl nitrite are then added dropwise. The reaction mixture is stirred for a further hour and rendered neutral with acetic acid; the solvent is evaporated off in vacuo. 200 ml of ethyl acetate are added to the residue; the organic phase is washed with water and saturated sodium chloride solution and dried over sodium sulfate; the solvent is evaporated off in vacuo. Recrystallisation from diethyl ether/hexane yields the title product having a melting point of 115-117° C.
