Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 600 mg of the oxime (V) in a mixture of 10 ml of dimethoxyethane and 5 ml of water, was added 6 ml of 16% titanium trichloride and the mixture was kept at 50° to 60° C. for 30 minutes under an argon atmosphere. After cooling, the mixture was admixed with 20 ml of water and extracted with methylene chloride. The extract was washed with an aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution, then with an aqueous sodium chloride solution, dried over magnesium sulfate, and concentrated in vacuo to give 425 mg of an oil. This oil was chromatographed over silica gel to give 305 mg of an oil (IV): nD20 1.4787; MS: m/e 168 (M+).
