Reaction Steps

A solution of n-butyllithium (10.0 mL of 1.6 M solution in hexane, 15.93 mmol) was added to methyl 1,3-thiazol-2-ylcarbamate (1.05 g, 6.64 mmol) in THF (10 mL) at −78° C. with stirring under N2. After being stirred at −78° C. for 1 h, a solution of 1,4-cyclohexanedione mono-ethylene ketal (1.84 g, 11.75 mmol) in THF (10 mL) was added to the lithiated compound solution via syringe at −78° C. The reaction mixture was allowed to warm to room temperature slowly and stirred overnight. water and EtOAc were added. The aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc (3×). The combined organic layers were washed with saturated NaCl, dried (MgSO4), concentrated and flash chromatographed (50% EtOAc/hexane to 75% EtOAc/hexane) to give 0.744 g of the title compound in 51% yield. MS (EI) calcd: (M+H)+=315.1. Found: 315.0.
