Reaction Steps

To a solution of (R)-methyl 3-(tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy)-4-chlorobutanoate (27.9 g, 104.7 mmol) in CH2Cl2 was added dropwise DIBAL-H (120 mL, 1 M in toluene, 120 mmol) at −78° C. under N2 atmosphere. The mixture was stirred at −78° C. for 4 h. CH3OH (80 mL) was added slowly to the reaction mixture at −78° C. Then the temperature was warmed to room temperature gradually. The mixture was filtered and the cake was washed with CH2Cl2. The combined filtrates were concentrated under reduced pressure and purified by column chromatography (PE) to give (R)-3-(tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy)-4-chlorobutanal (13 g, 60% over 2 steps). 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 9.80 (t, J=1.6 Hz, 1H), 4.35-4.42 (m, 1H), 3.53 (dd, J=11.1 Hz, 4.8 Hz, 1H), 3.46 (dd, J=12 Hz, 6.3 Hz, 1H), 2.63-2.82 (m, 2H), 0.87 (s, 9H), 0.12 (s, 3H), 0.08 (s, 3H).
