(3R,4S,5R,6R)-3,4,5-Tris-trimethylsilanyloxy-6-trimethylsilanyloxymethyl-tetrahydro-pyran-2-on → delta-Gluconolactone

Participants

Reaction Steps

A 100 mL flask was charged with (3R,4S,5R,6R)-3,4,5-tris(trimethylsilyloxy)-6-((trimethylsilyloxy)methyl)tetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-one (6.54 g) and n-heptane (10.2 mL), and stirred for 10 min under argon sparging. The mixture was cooled to −20° C. to −30° C. under nitrogen atmosphere. The solution was added to a suitable cooled addition funnel and was kept ready for addition to the aryl magnesium.
