Reaction Steps

A solution of 1,4-cyclohexanedione monoethylene ketal (9.37 g, 60 mmol) in THF (50 mL) was added to a suspension of KH (2.57 g, 63 mmol) in THF (200 mL) at rt under argon. After being stirred at rt (25° C.) for 30 min, the mixture was cooled to 0° C., and triethylborane (75 mL of 1M solution in THF) was added. The mixture was stirred for 30 min prior to the introduction of allyl bromide (7.8 mL, 90 mmol). After 1 h, H2O2 (30%, 50 mL) and NaOH (3M, 50 mL) were added at 0° C., and stirring was continued for 30 min at rt prior to removal of THF by rotary evaporation. The aqueous residue was extracted with ethyl acetate, washed with brine, dried over MgSO4, and concentrated. Flash chromatography (30% ethyl acetate in hexanes) gave 10.1 g (86%) of 2 as an oil: IR (neat) 2957, 2887, 1714, 1438, 1140, 1049 cm-1 ; 1H NMR δ5.72 (m, 1H), 5.02 (m, 2H), 4.01 (m, 4H), 2.65 (m, 3H), 2.46 (m, 1H), 2.05 (m, 4H); 13C NMR δ210.6, 135.7, 116.6, 107.3, 64.6, 64.4, 45.7, 39.8, 38.0, 34.4, 33.1; MS m/z 196 (M30 ), 168, 155, 99.
