Reaktionsschritte

A mixture of 1.02 g phenyl-(R)-3-hydroxytetradecanoate (3.19 mmol), 22 mL dichloromethane, 0.74 g 2-bromooctanoic acid (3.19 mmol), 0.66 g N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (3.20 mmol) and 0.39 g 4-dimethylaminopyridine (3.19 mmol) was stirred at room temperature for 1.5 hours. The solution was then concentrated to dryness on a rotary evaporator (ca. 26 mm Hg, 30° C.). 25 mL hexanes was added to the white powdery residue and the resultant mixture was stirred at room temperature for 5 minutes. The slurry was filtered through a coarse sintered glass funnel and the solids were washed with 2×20 mL hexanes. The combined filtrates were placed in a separatory funnel and washed with 2×50 mL 1M HCL, 2×50 mL 10% saturated sodium bicarbonate and 2×50 mL city water. The organic layer was dryed over magnesium sulfate, then gravity filtered through paper, and concentrated on a rotary evaporator (ca. 10 mm Hg, 30° C.). The residue was chromatographed on a 2' by 1" column slurry packed with silica gel (80 g) in hexanes. Product was eluted with 50/50 hexanes and dichloromethane. The chromatography was monitored by TLC (silica gel, 50/50 hexanes: dichloromethane, phosphomolybidic acid visualization). Fractions containing only product were pooled and concentrated on a rotary evaporator (ca. 100 mm Hg, 30° C.). A cloudy oil (0.98 g, 58% yield) was obtained.
