Dimethylformamide → 2-Chloro-5-hydroxycyclohex-1-enecarbaldehyde

Participants

Reaction Steps

Phosphorus oxychloride (4.08 mL) was added to cooled (−10° C.) N,N-dimethylformamide (20 mL). The temperature was maintained below 0° C. Stirring was continued for another 30 minutes before the addition of 4-(tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy)cyclohexanone (10 g). The mixture was then stirred at room temperature for 2 hours before it was diluted with ethyl acetate (300 mL) and washed with water (3×), brine and dried over Na2SO4. After filtration and concentration, the crude product was used directly in the next reaction without further purification.
