Reaction Steps

A solution of n-butyllithium (17.1 mL of 1.6 M solution in hexane, 27.35 mmol) was added to 8-(1,3-thiazol-2-yl)-1,4-dioxaspiro[4.5]decan-8-ol (3.00 g, 12.43 mmol) in THF (50 mL) at −78° C. with stirring under N2. After being stirred at −78° C. for 1 h, dry ice (10 g, 227 mmol) was added to the lithiated compound solution and stirred for 2 h at −78° C. Water was added and the solution was warmed to room temperature. The mixture was then treated with 1N HCl to pH 3 to 4 and extracted with EtOAc (3×). The combined organic layers were washed with saturated NaCl solution, dried (MgSO4), and concentrated and chromatographed (EtOAc to 1% AcOH/EAOAc) to give 3.23 g of 2-(8-hydroxy-1,4-dioxaspiro[4.5]dec-8-yl)-1,3-thiazole-4-carboxylic acid. MS (EI) calcd: (M+H)+=286.1. Found: 286.0.
