Reaktionsschritte

To a solution of dimethyl(2-oxo-4-phenylbutyl)phosphonate (1.40 g, 5.46 mmol), [3aα,4β,5α]-hexahydro-2-oxo-cyclopenta[b]furan-4-carboxaldehyde (4) (0.765 mg, 4.96 mmol) and triethylbenzyl ammonium chloride (110 mg 0.48 mmol) in dichloromethane (10 mL) at room temperature was added a 10M aqueous solution sodium hydroxide (0.55 mL, 5.5 mmol) and the resulting mixture was vigorously stirred for 40 min. The reaction was then diluted with ethyl acetate and washed with water (2×10 mL) and brine (1×10 mL) and concentrated in vacuo. Column chromatography (1:2 ethyl acetate-hexanes through silica gel) provided the title compound 5 as a clear, colorless oil (1.29 g, 4.53 mmol). Rf =0.42 in ethyl acetate-hexanes, 1:1.
