โฆ Synopsis
Unexpected Formation of O-Methoxycarbonyl Cyanohydrin Showing Potential as a Protective Group of Ketones.
-Methyl cyanoformate (II) readily reacts with ketones (I) and (IV) in the presence of an amine base to yield O-methoxycarbonyl cyanohydrins. As easy hydrolysis of these cyanohydrins [cf. (V)] with catalytic potassium carbonate is achieved, this functional group shows interesting potential in protecting group chemistry.
