Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-benzyloxy-4-oxo-4H-pyran-2-carboxylic acid 3-chlorobenzylamide (300 mg) obtained in Example 10, Step 1 and 2,2-dimethylpropionaldehyde (9 ml) in tetrahydrofuran (9 ml) was added dropwise 1.5 M lithium diisopropylamide-tetrahydrofuran/cyclohexane solution (4.5 ml) under nitrogen at −78° C. After stirring at the same temperature for 2 hr, the cooling bath was removed and 1N aqueous hydrochloric acid (15 ml) and ethyl acetate (25 ml) were added, and the mixture was warmed to room temperature. The organic layer was separated from the aqueous layer and extracted with ethyl acetate (25 ml). The combined organic layer was dried, concentrated and purified by silica gel column chromatography (ethyl acetate:hexane=1:3) to give 3-benzyloxy-5-(1-hydroxy-2,2-dimethylpropyl)-4-oxo-4H-pyran-2-carboxylic acid 3-chlorobenzylamide (0.22 g).
