Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 7-(dibromomethyl)-2,2-dimethyl-4H-1,3-benzodioxin-4-one (6.0 g, 17 mmol) in acetone (20 mL) and water (40 mL) under nitrogen was added AgNO3 (6.0 g, 35 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at rt for 14 hours, then filtered through a pad of Celite. The solvents were removed under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by chromatography (pet ether/EtOAc 9/1) to give 2.0 g (57%) of the titled compound as a solid. TLC-Pet Ether/EtOAc (7/3): Rf=0.7.
