Reaction Steps

A solution of mitomycin A (100 mg) in 4 ml of 2-(2-methoxyethoxy)ethanol was stirred at room temperature and under nitrogen for 45 minutes with 240 mg of a 1.6% solution of KOH in 2-(2-methoxyethoxy)ethanol. The reaction mixture was decomposed with excess dry ice while immersing the flask into a water bath at room temperature. It was then isolated on a silica gel plate using ether, which elutes the allyl alcohol to the top of the plate (the plate was developed several times), followed by chloroform-methanol 9:1 which elutes the product. This procedure gives 72 mg (58%) of the desired compound, having a melting point of 102°-104° C. and providing the following analysis:
