Procedure

Following the general procedure for the preparation of acyloxyalkyl/alkoxycarbonyloxyalkyl carboxylic esters from carboxylic acids of Description 22, (2R)-4-[(3-chloropropyl)sulfonyloxy]-3,3-dimethyl-2-(phenylmethoxy)butanoic acid (11) (13.0 g, 34.3 mmol) dissolved in 300 mL of anhydrous toluene was reacted with 15.4 g (103 mmol) of 1-chloroethyl 2-methylpropanoate (22) in the presence of 23 g (86 mmol) of silver carbonate (Ag2CO3). After work-up, the crude material was purified by silica gel column chromatography using a mixture of ethyl acetate (EtOAc) and hexane (Hxn) (EtOAc/Hxn=1:2) as eluent to provide 11 g (65% yield) of the title compound (29a) as a colorless oil. Rf=0.63 (EtOAc/Hxn=1:2). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3, both diastereomers): δ=1.06-1.23 (m, 12H), 1.53 (d, J=5.6 Hz, 3H), 2.24-2.32 (m, 2H), 2.51-2.65 (m, 1H), 3.21-3.26 (m, 2H), 3.63-3.66 (m, 2H), 3.83-3.85 (2s, 1H), 3.96 (d, J=9.6 Hz, 1H), 4.20-4.24 (2d, J=8.8, 9.2 Hz, 1H), 4.33-4.37 (2d, J=11.2, 11.6 Hz, 1H), 4.60-4.66 (2d, J=11.6, 11.6 Hz, 1H), 6.91-6.95 (m, 1H), 7.30-7.37 (m, 5H) ppm. MS (ESI) m/z 514.90 (M+Na)+.
