Reaktionsschritte

Triphenylphosphoniummethyl bromide (6.9 g, 19.5 mmol) was added to a suspension of sodium hydride (0.78 g, 60% oil dispersion, 19.5 mmol) (hexane washed) in DMF (50 mL) cooled to 0° C. under a nitrogen atmosphere. The reaction was stirred for 1 h, and then (2-oxo-cyclohexyl)-acetic acid ethyl ester (3.0 g, 16.2 mmol) was added. The reaction was allowed to warm to room temperature and stirred for 18 h. The reaction was partitioned between ethyl acetate and water. The organic layer was washed with brine, dried over magnesium sulfate, and concentrated to give a residue. The product was purified by FCC on silica gel eluting with hexane:ethyl acetate (95:5) to give (2-methylene-cyclohexyl)-acetic acid ethyl ester (1.5 g, 50%) as an oil.
