Solvents

CH2Cl2

Conditions

Workup

1. 1
   Otherpurified by chromatography on SiO2

Procedure

A solution of 4-(2-hydroxy-ethyl)-cyclohexanone (Intermediate R10, 6.8 g, 52.6 mmol, (obtainable as described in the publication by Ciufolini et. al. J. Amer. Chem. Soc. 1991, 113, 8016) was dissolved in CH2Cl2 (75 mL) and treated with diisopropylethylamine (9.2 mL, 52.6 mmol) followed by tri-isopropylsilyl trifluoromethane sulfonate (TIPSTf) (15.3 g, 50.2 mmol) at −30° C. The reaction mixture was warmed to 0° C. for 1 h. The mixture was subjected to an aqueous work-up and purified by chromatography on SiO2 to give 4-(2-triisopropylsilanyloxy-ethyl)-cyclohexanone (Intermediate R11, 11.8 g (82%). Intermediate R11 was converted via Intermediate R12 to the unsaturated aldehyde, 5-(2-triisopropylsilanyloxy-ethyl)-cyclohex-1-enecarbaldehyde (Intermediate R13)
