tert-Butanol → tert-butyl (1S,3R)-3-acetyl-2,2-dimethylcyclobutane-1-carboxylate

To a stirred ice cooled solution of (1S,3R)-3-acetyl-2,2-dimethylcyclobutanecarboxylic acid (3.0 g, 17.65 mmol) in THF (5 ml), t-BuOH (5.1 ml, 52.94 mmol) and DMAP (0.036 g, 0.176 mmol) in THF (3 ml) were added followed by DCC (4.4 g, 21.2 mmol) in dry THF (2 ml) was added slowly. Then the reaction was stirred at room temperature for about 36 hours. After completion of the reaction (monitored by TLC), the reaction mixture was filtered through a celite bed and washed with DCM. The filtrate was washed with 5% HCl, water, aqueous NaHCO3 and dried over Na2SO4. The solvent was evaporated and purified by silica gel column (60-120, elution 10% EtOAc in hexane) to afford title compound as a pale yellow syrup. Wt: 2.4 g; Yield: 60%; 1H NMR (300 MHZ, CDCl3): δ 2.84 (m, 1H), 2.70-2.51 (m, 2H), 2.06 (s, 3H), 1.89-1.80 (m, 1H), 1.41 (s, 12H), 0.93 (s, 3H); Mass: [M+Na]+ 249 (100%).
