Reaktionsschritte

A solution of (2SR,9aSR)-9a-butyl-2,4-dimethyl-7-methoxymethoxy-1,2,9,9a-tetrahydro-3H-fluoren-3-one (110 mg, 0.34 mmol) in anhydrous THF (1.5 mL) was cooled in an ice bath, stirred under a nitrogen atmosphere, and treated with 0.4M LDA in THF (1 mL, 0.4 mmol). After stirring at 0° C. for 30 minutes, the solution was cooled to −78° C. and treated with iodopropane (0.170 mL, 1.7 mmol). The resulting mixture was allowed to gradually warm to room temperature, then stirred at room temperature overnight. Workup as described in step 2 afforded a crude product (112 mg) which was purified by PLC on a 0.1×20×20 cm silica gel GF plate, using 10:1 hexanes-EtOAc as developing solvent. The band at Rf 0.20-0.27 gave recovered starting material (39 mg) and the band at Rf 0.31-0.38 afforded the product (2SR,9aRS)-9a-butyl-2,4-dimethyl-7-methoxymethoxy-2-propyl-1,2,9,9a-tetrahydro-3H-fluoren-3-one (41 mg) as an oil.
