Reaktionsschritte

To a mixture of diisopropylamine (62 mL, 0.44 mol) and tetrahydrofuran (1000 mL) were added dropweise n-butyl lithium (2.6 M n-hexane solution, 100 mL, 0.26 mol) and n-butyl lithium (1.6 M n-hexane solution, 95 mL, 0.15 mol) at −78° C., and then the reaction mixture was stirred for 30 minutes. To this mixture was added dropwise tributyltin hydride (100 mL, 0.37 mol) at −78° C., and then the reaction mixture was stirred for 60 minutes at 0° C. The reaction mixture was cooled to −78° C., after which paraformaldehyde (13 g, 0.15 mol) was added to the reaction mixture. The reaction mixture was slowly raised to room temperature, and then the reaction mixture was stirred overnight at room temperature. To the reaction mixture were water, an ammonium chloride aqueous solution, and diethyl ether, and the organic layer was separated. The organic layer was washed first with a saturated sodium hydrogencarbonate aqueous solution and then with saturated aqueous sodium chloride. The organic layer was separated, and was concentrated under a reduced pressure. The residue was purified by neutral silica gel column chromatography (heptane:diethyl ether=4:1) to obtain the title compound (95 g, 80%).
