Tetrabutylammonium Fluoride → HCID 57907411, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 77.0 g, (236 mmol) of (5Z)-5-[(tert-butoxycarbonyl)hydrazono]-7-(trimethylsilyl)hept-6-ynoic acid from step B above in 500 mL of THF was added 350 mL (350 mmol) of a 1.0 M solution of tetrabutylammonium fluoride in THF over 30 min. The resulting mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 48 h and then evaporated to dryness in vacuo. The residue was diluted with 1 L of a 5% aqueous acetic acid solution and the aqueous phase extracted with ethyl acetate (3×350 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with water (2×100 mL), and brine (150 mL), dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and evaporated to dryness in vacuo. The crude residue was purified by silica gel chromatography eluting with 3% acetic acid and 35% ethyl acetate in hexanes mixture to afford the title compound as yellow oil (60 g, quantitative yield). LC-MS: m/z (ES) 255 (MH)−.
