Reaktionsschritte

To a stirred solution of 5.30 g. of crude 4-bromo-2-(6-carboxyhexyl)cyclopent-2-en-1-one (Example 93) in 85 ml. of methanol at 0°-3° C. is added 4.40 g. (22.6 mmole) of silver fluoborate in one portion. After 2 minutes, the mixture is treated with 2.66 g. (24.8 mmoles) of 2,6-lutidine. After stirring for 30 minutes at 0°-3° C. the mixture is stirred at ambient temperature for 45 minutes. Silver bromide is removed by filtration, and the filtrate is concentrated to a volume of 40 ml. The solution is treated with saturated sodium chloride solution and extracted with ether. The extract is washed successively with 0.5N hydrochloric acid solution, water, and saturated sodium chloride solution; dried over magnesium sulfate; and concentrated. Partition chromatography of the residue on Celite gives an oil, λ maxMeOH. = 220 mμ (7450); ν max - 1715 (carbonyl groups) and 1095 cm-1 (methoxy group).
