Boron trifluoride etherate → HCID 25017348, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 13.1 (0.182 g, 0.5 mmol) in ethanedithiol (10 mL), at room temperature, under an argon atmosphere was added BF3.Et2O (0.282 g, 2.0 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour and then diluted with diethyl ether (20 mL) and water (10 mL). The organic layer was separated and the aqueous phase extracted with diethyl ether. The combined organic layer was washed with brine, dried over MgSO4 and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue obtained was chromatographed through a column of silica gel eluting with 50% diethyl ether-hexane to give 14.1 (0.096 g, 70% yield) as a white solid (m p 47-51° C.).
