Participants

Reaction Steps

Analogously to Examples Cb) and c), methyl (3R,5R)-5-(t-butyldimethylsiloxy)-3-hydroxydocosanoate (Example Ib) was reacted with propargyl bromide to give methyl (2R,3R,5R)-5-(t-butyldimethylsiloxy)-3-hydroxy-2-(2-propynyl)docosanoate, IR (cm-1): 3310, 2120, 1740, 1255, the latter was saponified to give (2R,3R,5R)-5-(t-butyldimethylsiloxy)-3-hydroxy-2-(2-propinyl)-docosanoic acid, IR (cm-1): 3315, 2120, 1715, 1255, and this acid was cyclized to give (3R,4R)-4-[(R)-2-(t-butyldimethylsiloxy)nonadecyl]-3-(2-propynyl)-2-oxetanone, IR (cm-1): 3315, 2130, 1830, 1255.
