Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A solution of Intermediate 13 (0.55 g, 2.66 mmol) in THF (5 mL) was cooled to −30° C. To this solution a 0.5 M solution of 3-butenylmagnesium bromide (5.8 mL, 2.92 mmol) in THF was added, and the resulting mixture was stirred 2 hours at −30° C. The reaction was allowed to reach room temperature; acetic acid (0.1 mL) was added and concentrated. Purification by column chromatography with silica gel and methylene chloride/acetone (20:1) as eluent afforded the title compound (410 mg, 54%) as oil.
