Dimethyl Sulfoxide → 5-((tert-Butyldimethylsilyl)oxy)pentanal

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Under a nitrogen atmosphere and at 0° C., dimethylsulfoxide (7.81 ml, 110 mmol), triethylamine (9.60 ml, 69.0 mmol), and a sulfur trioxide-pyridine complex (4.39 g, 27.6 mmol) were added to a dichloromethane solution (80 ml) of 5-(t-butyldimethylsilyloxy)pentanol (3.00 g, 13.8 mmol). The resulting mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 30 minutes and then, at room temperature for further 3 hours. After cooling to 0° C., a saturated aquoeus ammonium chloride solution was added. Dichloromethane was distilled off under reduced pressure. To the residue was added ethyl acetate. After the water layer was separated, the organic layer was washed with water and brine, dried over magnesium sulfate and then, concentrated. The residue thus obtained was subjected to chromatography on a silica gel column, and the fraction obtained from the hexane:ethyl acetate=20:1 eluate was concentrated, whereby the title compound (2.42 g, 11.2 mmol, 81%) was obtained as a colorless oil.
