Reaktionsschritte

To a stirred solution of (S)-tert-butyl 1-(tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy)but-3-en-2-yl(2-oxoethyl)carbamate (Intermediate 99, 16.1 g, 46.8 mmol), methyl acrylate (6.3 mL, 70 mmol), and methanol (about 2 mL), under nitrogen at ambient temperature, was added Quinuclidine (2.1 g, 19 mmol) as a solid. The mixture was then stirred for 1 day; analysis by TLC (15% ethyl acetate in hexanes) indicated incomplete conversion of starting material. Another 0.8 eq of quinuclidine was added every 24 hours; another 0.75 eq methyl acrylate and 1 mL methanol were added every two days. After 6 days total, the reaction was diluted with water and extracted with ethyl acetate. TLC indicated that only one extraction with about 250 mL ethyl acetate was needed to bring all the crude product into the organic layer, which was then washed with brine, dried over sodium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. Normal-phase chromatography (5-30% ethyl acetate in hexanes, 220-g column, 35 minutes) afforded the desired compound (16 g, 80%, pale oil) as a mixture of diastereomers, with about 10 mol % of starting aldehyde present according to proton NMR analysis. The material was taken forward in this state.
