Reaktionsschritte

Methyl (S)-(+)-2-methyl-3-hydroxypropionate (1.18 g; 10 mmole), trityl chloride (3.1 g; 11.13 mmole) and N,N-dimethylaminopyridine (1.34 g; 11 mmole) were dissolved in dry dimethylformamide (10 ml), and the resultant mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. Methanol (5 ml) was added thereto to decompose the unreacted trityl chloride, and the resultant mixture was stirred for 3 hours. Water (20 ml) was added to the reaction mixture, which was extracted with toluene (20 ml) three times. The extracts were combined together, washed with water, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography to give methyl (S)-3-trityloxy-2-methylpropionate.
