反応手順

A solution of 4-bromobenzoic acid (4.02 g, 20.0 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (100 mL) was purged with argon for 5 min. n-Butyllithium (16.0 mL of 2.5 M in hexanes, 40 mmol) was added dropwise at −78° C., resulting in a yellow thick syrup. The mixture was stirred at −78° C. for 30 min. Cyclopentanone (3.89 mL, 44.0 mmol) was added dropwise. The reaction was quenched immediately with saturated NH4Cl and allowed to warm to room temperature. The mixture was acidified with 1 N HCl to pH ˜3 and extracted with ethyl acetate (3×50 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with brine, dried over MgSO4 and concentrated in vacuo. The solid residue was suspended in hexanes, filtered, and the solid washed with additional hexanes. The solid was re-suspended in dichloromethane followed by hexanes. The resulting precipitate was filtered, washed with hexane and air dried to yield 4-(1-hydroxycyclopentyl)benzoic acid (1.25 g, 30%) as a white solid. 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO) δ 12.78 (s, 1H), 7.88 (d, J=8.5 Hz, 2H), 7.58 (d, J=8.5 Hz, 2H), 4.93 (s, 1H), 1.93-1.71 (m, 8H).
