Reaction Steps

To a solution of aldehyde 230a (19.5 g, 92.7 mmol) in 300 mL of tert-butyl alcohol was added 2-methyl-2-butene (98.0 mL, 925 mmol). To this was added a solution of sodium dihydrogen phosphate (44.5 g, 371 mmol) in 300 mL of water. Sodium chlorite (33.6 g, 371 mmol) was added in several portions. The resulting mixture was rapidly stirred overnight at room temperature. Ethyl acetate was added and the aqueous layer was acidified to pH 3 by addition of 1 M HCl. The organic layer was separated, and the aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate (3×200 mL). The combined organic extracts were washed with brine, dried over MgSO4, and reduced to dryness in vacuo. The crude product (27.4 g, 121 mmol, >100% yield) was used in the next step without further purification: 1H NMR (500 MHz, CDCl3) δ: 6.84(t of q, J=7.25 Hz, J=1.50 Hz, 1H, ═CH), 5.34 (t of q, J=7.00 Hz, J=1.50 Hz, 1H, ═CH), 4.56 (d, J=7.00 Hz, 2H, —CH2O—), 2.31 (q, J=7.50 Hz, 2H, —CH2—), 2.15 (t, J=7.50 Hz, 2H, —CH2—), 2.03 (s, 3H, —CH3), 1.81 (s, 3H, —CH3), 1.70 (s, 3H, —CH3). LC/MS (ESI): m/z 249 [M+Na]+.
