6-Chloro-1-hexanol → (3R,3aR,6R,6aR)-6-hydroxyhexahydrofuro[3,2-b]furan-3-yl 6-chlorohexyl carbonate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (3R,3aR,6R,6aR)-6-hydroxyhexahydrofuro[3,2-b]furan-3-yl 4-nitrophenyl carbonate (1.13 g, 3.63 mmol) in DCM (15 ml), (prepared as described in EXAMPLE 7, Step C), 6-chlorohexanol (596 mg, 4.36 mmol) and 4-dimethylaminopyridine (89 mg, 0.73 mmol) were added and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 18 hrs. Then the mixture was diluted with DCM and washed with a 5% solution of sodium dihydrogen phosphate (20 ml). The organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by flash chromatography (Biotage SP1, EtOAc/n-hexane from 12 to 80%), affording the title compound as colorless oil.
