Reaktionsschritte

To a solution of 4.0 g (14.5 mmol) of the LIVb in 100 mL of THF was added 20 mL (40 mmol) of 2M octylmagnesium bromide in THF dropwise. After stirring 3.5 h, the solution was quenched with saturated NH4Cl, acidified with 1N HCl, and was extracted with EtOAc. The combined organic layers were washed with brine and dried over MgSO4. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the residue was chromatographed on silica gel. Elution with 7.5% ethyl acetate in hexanes gave 4.86 g (88%) of the bis-octyl ketone LIVc as an oil. 1H NMR (300 Hz, CDCl3): δ 4.55 (s, 2H, CH), 2.64 (dt, 4H, CH2), 1.62 (m, 4H, CH2), 1.42 (s, 6H, CH3), 1.27 (broad s, 20H, CH2), 0.88 (t, 6H, CH3); MS (CI, NH3) m/e 383 (M+1).
