참여 물질

반응 단계

To a stirred solution of 19.1 g. of crude 4-bromo-2-(6-carboxyhexyl)cyclopent-2-en-1-one (Example 93) in 310 ml. of ethylene glycol is added 15.6 g. (80 mmole) of silver fluoborate during 2 minutes. The exothermic reaction is controlled to give a temperature of 29° C., and after 1 minute the mixture is treated during 1 minute with 8.6 g. (80 mmole) of 2,6-lutidine. The mixture is stirred at ambient temperature for 2 hours, diluted with water, and filtered. The filtrate is diluted with saturated sodium chloride solution and extracted with ether. The extract is washed with half-saturated sodium chloride solution containing a little hydrochloric acid and saturated sodium chloride solution. The extract is dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated. Column chromatograph of the residue on silica gel gives an oil, λ maxMeOH = 216 mμ (8350); ν max = 3340 (hydroxyl groups), 1700 (carbonyl groups), and 1620 cm -1 (olefin group).
