Reaction Steps

cis/trans Ethyl 4-{[(1,1-dimethylethyl)(dimethyl)silyl]oxy}cyclohexanecarboxylate (D1, 35 g, 122 mmol) was dissolved in CH3CN (250 mL) and Et3SiH (1.2 eq., 146 mmol, 23 mL), BiBr3 (4% mol, 4.9 mmol, 2.2 g) were added portionwise at room temperature followed by acetaldehyde (1.2 eq., 8.2 mL) that was slowly added at 25° C. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. The mixture was subsequently poured onto an aqueous saturated solution of NaHCO3 and the mixture obtained was then extracted with EtOAc (3×). Organics were combined, washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and the solvent was evaporated to afford the crude mixture that was purified by silica chromatography (Biotage 65i column, EtOAc-nhex) to afford the title compound, 21 g, 87%.
