Hydrochloric Acid → HCID 89975649, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

4.2 mL of a 35% formaldehyde solution and 4.2 mL of 2 mol/L hydrochloric acid were added to a solution of 857 mg of (2S,3S,4S)-4-bromo-2-fluoro-3,5-bis((4-methoxybenzyl)oxy)pentanal O-methyloxime in 17 mL of acetone at room temperature, and the obtained mixture was then stirred at room temperature for 1.75 hours. Thereafter, ethyl acetate and a saturated sodium hydrogen carbonate aqueous solution were added to the reaction mixture. The organic layer was fractionated, and it was washed with a saturated sodium chloride aqueous solution and was then dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. After that, the solvent was distilled away under reduced pressure. The obtained residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane/ethyl acetate=100/0 to 60/40), so as to obtain 598 mg of colorless oily (2S,3S,4S)-4-bromo-2-fluoro-3,5-bis((4-methoxybenzyl)oxy)pentanal and a water adduct thereof.
