Boron trifluoride etherate → HCID 86714015, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of ketone 5-1 (3.9 g, 9.5 mmol) in CH2Cl2/CH3CN (31 mL/31 mL) were added triethylsilane (4.8 mL, 28.5 mmol) and boron trifluoride diethyl etherate (3.7 mL, 28.5 mmol) at 0° C. under nitrogen atmosphere. The mixture was warmed up to room temperature slowly and stirred at room temperature for 15 h. To the mixture was added saturated K2CO3 solution (50 mL) slowly and the mixture was extracted with EtOAc (100 mL). The organic layer was dried over MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography to provide the desired product 6 (3.2 g, 8.1 mmol, 85%).
