Triethylamine → HCID 53961967, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

(9.32 mmol) of (S)-2-t-butyldimethylsilyloxy-3-cyclohexylpropyl alcohol [prepared as described in step (iii) above] in 12 ml of methylene chloride was added dropwise over a period of 5 minutes. The resulting mixture was then stirred for 20 minutes at the same temperature, after which 6.5 ml (46.6 mmol) of triethylamine were added. The mixture was then allowed to stand for 7 minutes, and the cooling bath was removed. After a further 10 minutes, the reaction was stopped by adding an aqueous solution of ammonium chloride. The reaction mixture was then extracted with diethyl ether. The extract was washed twice with water and once with a saturated aqueous solution of sodium chloride. The organic phase was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and the solvent was then removed by distillation under reduced pressure, to give 2.55 g (a quantitative yield) of the title aldehyde compound as a colorless oil.
