Reaction Steps

1.0 M Magnesium m-methoxybenzene bromide in tetrahydrofuran (25 ml, 25.0 mmol) was added dropwise to a solution of 3-methyloxetane-3-carbaldehyde (0.5 g, 5.0 mmol) in 8 ml of tetrahydrofuran cooled to −70° C. The reaction medium was stirred for 4 hours at −70° C. and then allowed to return to 0° C., hydrolyzed with a saturated sodium chloride solution and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic phases were combined, washed with a saturated sodium chloride solution and evaporated. The residue obtained was purified by chromatography on a cartridge of silica gel (eluted with heptane/ethyl acetate, gradient from 90/10 to 60/40). 0.45 g of product was obtained in the form of a thick colorless oil. Yield=43%.
