Chloromethyl Methyl Ether → HCID 23081101, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Chloromethyl methyl ether (103.4 ml, 1363 mmol) and N-ethyldiisopropylamine (247.2 ml, 1419 mmol) were added to a solution of 2-methylene-1-butanol (65.1 g, 757 mmol) prepared in Reference Example 205 in THF (750 ml) while cooling in an ice-bath, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3 days. The reaction mixture was filtered, and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was dissolved in diethyl ether, and the mixture was washed with water and brine, dried over sodium sulfate, and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to afford 2-methoxymethoxymethyl-1-butene (98 g, quantitative) as a colorless oil.
