Diethyl Ether → HCID 53482763, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Potassium tert-butoxide (32 mg, 0.28 mmol) was added to 4 (100 mg, 0.14 mmol) and tert-butyl-2-bromo acetate (105 mg, 0.54 mmol) in dry THF (3 ml). The reaction mixture was shaken for 30 min. Diethyl ether (10 ml and brine (5 ml) were added and the aqueous phase was extracted with ethyl acetate (3×20 ml). The combined organic phases were washed with brine and then dried with sodium sulfate. The volatile material was removed at reduced pressure and the crude product was purified by column chromatography (ethyl acetate/methanol 9:1), which gave 60 mg (52%) of 5. 1H-NMR (CDCl3); 3.91 (s, 2H), 3.66-3.52 (m, 48H), 3.51 (s, 2H), 3.45 (s, 6H), 3.37 (s, 9H), 1.46 (s, 9H).
