Ammonium Chloride → 8-(Trifluoromethyl)-1,4-dioxaspiro[4.5]decan-8-ol

Participants

Reaction Steps

1,4-cyclohexandione mono-ethylene ketal (1.5 g, 9.6 mmol) was dissolved in THF (35 ml), followed by sequential addition of trimethyl(trifluoromethyl)silane (2.8 ml, 19.2 mmol) and tetrabutylammonium fluoride (1.0M solution in THF, 20 ml, 20.0 mmol) at 0° C., and then the resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours. A saturated aqueous ammonium chloride solution (10 ml) was added to the resulting reaction liquid, and then, the resulting mixture was stirred for 10 minutes, followed by concentration under reduced pressure. Distilled water (10 ml) was added to the residue thus obtained, followed by extraction with MC (50 ml×2). The organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, followed by filtration and concentration, and then the residue thus obtained was subjected to MPLC (40% EtOAc/Hexanes), to obtain 2.1 g of yellow oil (97%).
