Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Add 6-chloro-pyridin-3-ol (2 g, 15.4 mmol), cycloheptanol (1.93 g, 17 mmol), tri-n-butylphosphine (4.67 mL, 19.3 mmol), and ADDP (4.87 g, 19.3 mmol) to THF (60 mL) at 0° C. under a nitrogen atmosphere. Stir the mixture at 0° C. for 1 h and at room temperature for 12 h. Dilute with EtOAc (50 mL), add water (50 mL) and separate the layers. Extract the aqueous layer with EtOAc (4×30 mL). Wash the combined organic extracts with water (30 mL) and brine (20 mL). Dry the organic phase over Na2SO4, filter, and concentrate in vacuo. Purify the crude mixture by chromatography on silica gel (120 g, pre-packed cartridge) eluting with hexane/EtOAc (1:0 to 1:1 gradient over 1.25 h, 80 mL/min) to obtain the desired intermediate as a colorless oil (2.36 g, 68%). MS (APCI+) m/z: 226 (M H)+.
