Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

423 mg (2.13 mmol equivalents) of 2-bromomethyl-2-hydroxymethyl-1,3-propanediol was dissolved in 1.0 mL of acetone, 247 mg (1.07 mmol equivalents) of 10-camphorsulfonic acid was added thereto, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature (25° C.) for 2 days. After completion of the reaction, triethylamine was added, the solvent was removed by distillation, and the obtained crude product was then purified by silica gel column chromatography (eluent: hexane/ethyl acetate (v/v)=3/1) to give 409 mg (1.71 mmol equivalents) of 5-bromomethyl-2,2-dimethyl-5-hydroxymethyl-1,3-dioxane.
