Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (E)-2,2-dimethyl-4-(2-nitrovinyl)-1,3-dioxolane (22.29 g) synthesized according to the method described in Tetrahedron Letters, 36 (25), 4447-4450 (1995) in THF (200 ml) was added 1 M THF solution (193 mL) of bromo(3,4-dichlorophenyl)magnesium in an inert atmosphere at −78° C. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hr, and added to aqueous ammonium chloride, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with brine, and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (ethyl acetate/hexane) to give the title compound (12.16 g).
