Reaction Steps

1.6 g (5.7 mmol) (3R,3aR,6aS)-3-(5-fluoro-2-nitro-phenoxy)-2,3,3a,6a-tetrahydrofuro[3,2-b]furan-6-one (III.7) in THF are cooled to −70° C. 3.5 ml (5.7 mmol) 1.6 mol/l methyl lithium in diethyl ether are added dropwise and the reaction mixture is allowed to reach RT and stirred for 2.5 h. Aqueous NH4Cl solution and diethyl ether are added and the organic layer is separated, dried and evaporated. The residue is purified by FC (Al2O3).
