Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of acid 232a (20.0 g, 88.4 mmol) in 400 mL of methanol was added a solution of potassium carbonate (24.4 g, 177 mmol) in 100 mL of water. The resulting mixture was vigorously stirred overnight at room temperature. The reaction was cooled to 0° C., methylene chloride (200 mL) was added, and the aqueous layer was acidified to pH 3 with 1 M HCl. The organic layer was separated, and the aqueous layer was extracted with methylene chloride (2×200 mL). The combined organic extracts were washed with brine, dried over MgSO4, and reduced to dryness in vacuo. The crude product (9.65 g, 52.4 mmol, 59% yield) was used in the next step without further purification: 1H NMR (500 MHz, CDCl3) δ: 6.86 (t of q, J=7.25 Hz, J=1.50 Hz, 1H, ═CH), 5.43 (t of q, J=7.00 Hz, J=1.50 Hz, 1H, ═CH), 4.16 (d, J=7.00 Hz, 2H, —CH2O—), 2.33(q, J=7.50 Hz, 2H, —CH2—), 2.16 (t, J=7.50 Hz, 2H, —CH2—), 1.83 (s, 3H, —CH3), 1.68 (s, 3H, —CH3). LC/MS (ESI): m/z 207 [M+Na]+.
