Participants

Reaction Steps

(iPr)2NEt (6.0 mL, 35.0 mmol) was added dropwise to a stirred and cooled (0° C.) solution of alcohol 3a (4.0 g, 16.3 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (50 mL). After 15 min methoxymethylene chloride (MOMCl) (1.6 mL, 28 mmol) was added dropwise over a period of 5 min, and stirring was continued for 1 h. The cold bath was removed, and stirring was continued for 12 h. The reaction mixture was diluted with water (10 mL) and extracted with CH2Cl2. The combined organic extracts were washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4, and evaporated. The residue was purified by flash chromatography using hexanes-ethyl acetate mixture (5:1) as eluent to give compound 4a (4.4 g, 94%) as a colorless liquid. Rf=0.48 (25% EtOAc-hexanes); IR (neat) 2956, 2889, 1606, 1497, 1246, 1100, 1043 cm−1; 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.64 (d, J=1.8 Hz, 1H), 7.31 (dd, J=8.7, 2.1 Hz, 1H), 7.10 (d, J=8.1 Hz, 1H), 5.70 (s, 1H), 5.21 (s, 2H), 4.02 (m, 4H), 3.46 (s, 3H); 13C NMR (75 MHz, CDCl3) δ 154.2, 132.8, 131.4, 126.7, 115.5, 112.6, 102.5, 94.8, 65.1, 56.2; EIMS (m/z, rel intensity) 290 (M++2, 54), 288 (M+, 58), 259 (23), 257 (23), 209 (56), 73 (100).
