Ethyl Acetate → 4-Isobutyl-dihydro-furan-2-one

Ethyl acetate (0.12 mL, 1.22 mmol) in THF (2 mL) was added dropwise to a stirring solution of lithium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide (1.22 mL of a 1 M solution in THF, 1.22 mmol) at −78° C. under argon. After 20 minutes, 3 (0.21 g, 1.16 mmol) in THF (1 mL) was added, and the mixture was stirred for 2 hours. The mixture was quenched by addition of saturated ammonium chloride solution (3 mL) and allowed to warm to room temperature. The mixture was diluted with ether (20 mL) and dilute hydrochloric acid (15 mL) was added. The organic layer was separated, and the aqueous layer was further extracted with ether (2×10 mL). The combined organic fractions were washed with brine, dried (MgSO4), and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was chromatographed (SiO2, heptane/ethyl acetate, 99:1) to give the nitro-ester 4 (0.13 g, 41%) as a colorless liquid; Rf(heptane/ethyl acetate, 9:1) 0.32; νmax(film)/cm−1 1731 (C═O), 1547 (NO2), 1375 (NO2); δH (400 MHz; CDCl3): 4.73 (2H, s, CH2NO2), 4.14 (2H, q, J=7.1, CO2CH2Me), 2.58 (2H, s, CH2CO2Et), 2.07 (2H, m), 1.71–1.66 (4H, m), 1.60–1.24 (8H, m), 1.26 (3H, t, J=7.2, CO2CH2Me); m/z (ES+) 270 (M+H, 100%).
