Potassium Bromide → tert-Butyl 3,5-dideoxy-2,4-O-(1-methylethylidene)-L-erythro-hexuronate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To the −15° C. to −5° C. pre-cooled reaction mixture of AZADO (0.002 g), potassium bromide (0.22 g) and methylene chloride (30 ml) added 5 g of tert-butyl 2-((4R,6S)-6-(hydroxymethyl)-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxan-4-yl)acetate. Stirred the reaction mixture for 15 minutes at −15° C. to −5° C. 19 ml of sodium hypochlorite solution was added to the reaction mixture at same temperature. Stirred the reaction mixture for 15 minutes. Quenched the reaction mixture with 10% aqueous sodium thiosulfate solution. 20 ml of water was added and separated the both aqueous and organic layers. Washed the organic layer with water followed by brine solution. Distilled off the solvent completely to get the title compound as a solid.
