Hydrochloric Acid → 5-(2-(Tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy)ethyl)-2-chlorothiophene-3-carbaldehyde

Participants

Reaction Steps

tert-butyl(2-(5-chlorothiophen-2-yl)ethoxy)dimethylsilane (0.8 g) (example 278, step a) was added dropwise over 5 min to a stirred solution of butyl lithium (2.5M in hexanes 1.7 mL) and 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine (0.73 mL) in THF (25 mL) at −78° C. The resulting mixture was stirred for 2 hrs and DMF (0.67 mL) was added. The mixture was stirred for a further 1 hr and allowed to warm to RT. The reaction was cautiously poured into HCl solution (0.5M, 200 mL) and extracted with ethyl acetate (3×100 mL). The combined organic solutions were washed with water (2×100 mL), brine (100 mL), dried over sodium sulphate, filtered and evaporated in vacuo. The resulting oil was purified by silica gel chromatography eluting with iso-hexane to 5% ether in iso-hexane gradient. The fractions containing product were combined and evaporated in vacuo to give the subtitle compound as a clear oil. Yield (0.8 g)
