Tetrabutylammonium Fluoride → 1-o-Oleoyl-2-o-methyl-rac-glycerol

Participants

Reaction Steps

1M TBAF (6 mL, 6.0 mmol) was added to a solution of compound 16 (2.4 g, 5.0 mmol) in THF (50 mL). After 30 min, TLC analysis showed that all the starting material had been consumed. Then, the reaction mixture was partitioned between diethy ether (100 mL and sat. NaCl solution (30 mL). The organic extract was dried (MgSO4), concentrated and subjected to silica-gel column chromatography (eluent: hexane/ethyl acetate, 75/25, v/v] to give glycerol derivative 17 (1.42 g, 79%) as an oil
