Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of cyclobutanol (260 mg, 3.6 mmol) in anhydrous tetrahydrofuran (4 mL) was added sodium hydride (138 mg, 5.7 mmol) in portions at 0° C. The mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 30 min, and then 2-(4-(5-bromo-2-chlorobenzyl)phenoxy)ethyl 4-methylbenzenesulfonate (intermediate AB) (300 mg, 0.6 mmol) was added in portions. The mixture was refluxed for 3 h, whereupon TLC showed the reaction was complete. The reaction mixture was quenched with saturated ammonium chloride, extracted with ethyl acetate, washed with water and then with brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and concentrated to a crude oil. The crude oil was purified by column chromatography (PE:EA=10:1) to get intermediate CL as an oil product (117 mg, yield: ˜49%).
