反応手順

To an ice-cold, stirred solution of acid from step 1 (700 mg, 3.8 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (10 mL) was added borane-dimethyl sulfide complex (2 mL, 4.1 mmol). The reaction mixture was warmed to room temperature for 2 h and a 1:1 mixture of acetic acid/water (10 mL) was added. The resulting mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure. Purification by flash column chromatography (silica, 1:1 hexanes/ethyl acetate) provided methyl 4-(hydroxymethyl)cyclohexanecarboxylate (560 mg): 1H NMR (500 MHz, CDCl3) δ 3.68 (s, 3H), 3.51-3.46 (m, 2H), 2.59-2.57 (m, 1H), 2.05-2.00 (m, 2H), 1.65-1.55 (m, 5H), 1.31-1.27 (m, 2H).
