Procedure

To a solution of 1-ethoxy-3-pentanol (1.32 g, 10.0 mmol) in dichloromethane (20 mL) is added rhodium (II) acetate dimer (10 mg) followed by ethyl diazoacetate (1.0 mL, 9.5 mmol). The reaction mixture is stirred at rt for 2 h. The reaction mixture is diluted with heptane, filtered through celite, and the filtrate is evaporated. The residue is purified by chromatography on silica gel; elution with EtOAc:heptane (1:3) gives 660 mg the product 487.
