Acetic Acid → HCID 86604302, compound

Temperature

-30 °C

A 1M solution of Lithium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide in THF (LHMDS) (6.08 ml, 6.08 mmol) was added to anhydrous THF (4 ml) and the mixture was cooled to −30° C. under N2. Next, a solution of 5-Oxo-hexahydro-cyclopenta[c]pyrrole-2-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (1.0 g, 5.07 mmol) in THF (10 ml) was added dropwise over 15 minutes and the mixture was stirred for an additional 15 minutes. Next, a 0.5M solution of ZnCl2 (15.2 ml, 7.6 mmol) was added over 15 minutes and the reaction mixture was stirred for an additional 30 minutes. The reaction temperature was lowered to −70° C. and a solution of dithiocarbonic acid O-ethyl ester S-(2-oxo-ethyl) ester (913 mg, 5.57 mmol) in THF (1 ml) was added dropwise over 25-30 minutes. After 3 hours at −70° C., a solution of acetic acid (2.5 ml) in toluene (7.5 ml) was added and the reaction mixture was warmed to 0° C. The reaction mixture was diluted with H2O (7.5 ml) and the organic layer separated, dried (MgSO4), and concentrated providing oily brown residue that was purified by silica-gel chromatography using a ethyl acetate/hexanes gradient (0% ethyl acetate to 100% ethyl acetate) to give the subtitle product as an oil (756 mg, 41%).
