Experimental
Molecule 45:
Add urea-hydrogen peroxide (37.6 mg, 0.4 mmol) to a methyl rhenium trioxide (5.0 mg, 0.02 mmol), N-methylimidazole (8.2 mg, 0.1 mmol) to MeOH (2 ml). Stir the reaction for 5 minutes. Take the product (0.026 ml) and add to 41 (2.5 mg, 0.0026 mmol) in MeOH (0.2 ml) at 0oC. Stir for 6 hours and quench with NaHCO3 and Na2S2O2. Extract with ethyl acetate and dry.
Glossary
- Extract: to separate compounds in a mixture based on their relative solubilities in two different immiscible aqueous and organic solvents. Extraction is usually done with separatory funnel .
- urea-hydrogen peroxide: UHP. It is an unstable combination of urea and hydrogen peroxide in equal amounts, and an oxidizing agent.
