Participants

Reaction Steps

Ethylene glycol (0.92 g, 14.8 mmol) (Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd.), 4,4′-dimethoxytrityl chloride (1.00 g, 2.95 mmol) (Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd.), and triethylamine (0.89 g, 8.81 mmol) (Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd.) were dissolved in methylene chloride (25 mL) (Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd.), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. Water (50 mL) was added to reaction solution, and mixture was extracted with methylene chloride (Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd.). The organic layer was dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate (Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd.), and the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure. The residue was subjected to silica gel column chromatography (chloroform (Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd.) as an eluent), to thereby obtain the title compound (0.51 g, 47% yield).
