 | Chemical Properties | clear colorless liquid |  | Uses | 3-Ethyl-3-oxetanemethanol is used as pharmaceutical intermediate. |  | Synthesis Reference(s) | Journal of the American Chemical Society, 79, p. 3455, 1957 DOI: 10.1021/ja01570a038 |  | Synthesis | 3-Ethyl-3-oxetanemethanol was prepared by a modified procedure described in the literature. A mixture of trimethylopropane (1, 26.8 g, 0.2 mol), diethyl carbonate (23.6 g, 0.2 mol) and potassium hydroxide (0.1 g, 1.8 mmol) in 2 ml absolute ethyl alcohol was refluxed in oil bath at 110?C for 1 h. Then, the mixture was distilled at 110?C for 1 h. Distillation was continued until the temperature of oil bath reached 140?C. After the distillation, the vacuum was supplied for 1 h to remove the excess solvent. On heating above 185?C, the distilled materials were collected in a cold trap under vacuum and obtained >85% of the theoretical yield. 1H-NMR (CDCl3, δ, ppm): 0.80–0.83 (t, 3H, –CH2CH3), 1.61–1.66 (q, 2H, –CH2CH3), 3.62 (s, 2H, –CH2OH), 3.66 (s, 1H, –CH2OH), 4.31–4.32 and 4.38–4.39 (d, 4H, –CH2O). |
