Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 2-methyl-4-phenyl-3-furylmethanol (Compound 17, 48 mg, 0.26 mmol) and triethylamine (39 mg. 0.38 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (3 ml) at 0 degrees under argon was added lauroyl chloride (73 mg. 0.33 mmol). This solution was warmed gradually to room temperature and stirred for 41/2hours. The organics were extracted into ethyl ether and washed with a 5% aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution, H2O and brine. Evaporation of the dried (magnesium sulfate) extracts gave an oil which was purified by flash chromatography on silica using 3% ether/hexanes to give the title compound.
