Reaction Steps

To the suspension of sodium hydride (NaH) (60%, 250 mg) in THF (40 ml) was added dropwise dimethyl(2-oxoheptyl)phosphonate, and the reaction solution was stirred for 30 min. A THF solution (40 ml) of the aldehyde (2) previously prepared by Collins oxidization of (−)-Corey lactone (1) (2 g) was added. Reaction was maintained at room temperature overnight, and then acetic acid was added. After the usual work-up, an α,β-unsaturated ketone (3) was obtained. Yield: 1.95 g (50%).
