참여 물질

반응 단계

To a slurry of 60% NaH (125 mg, 3.12 mmol) in DME (3571 μL) at 0° C. was added 2-phenylcyclopentanone (500 mg, 3.12 mmol). After stirring for 1 h, Met (898 μL, 14.36 mmol) was added, and the solution heated to reflux for 2 h. The reaction was poured onto ice and extracted 3 times into Et20. The organic extracts were washed with brine, dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. Applied to Silica gel and eluted with an EtOAc/Hex gradient to afford 2-methyl-2-phenylcyclopentanone (401.7 mg, 2.305 mmol, 73.9% yield). LC-MS (M+H)+=175.1. 1H NMR (500 MHz, CDCl3) δ ppm 7.29-7.37 (4H, m), 7.20-7.24 (1H, m), 2.54 (1H, dt, J=12.51, 6.26 Hz), 2.34 (2H, t, J=7.63 Hz), 1.82-2.05 (3H, m), 1.38 (3H, s).
