Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-[(1S,2R,3R,5S)-2-(3,3-ethylenedioxyoctyl)-3-(tetrahydropyranyloxy)-5-(t-butylsiloxy)cyclopentyl]acetaldehyde (64) (1.00 g) in THF (25 ml) was added activated zinc powder (2.54 g), and while cooling on ice, the solution of 1-bromo-1,1-difluoro-5-(t-butyl-dimethylsilyloxy)-2-pentyne (i) (0.92 g) in THF (5 ml) was added dropwise to the resultant mixture. To the resultant solution was added mercury chloride (0.11 g) and the resultant mixture was stirred under ultrasonic irradiation. The reaction mixture was treated in the conventional manner and the obtained crude product was subjected to silica gel column chromatography to give the title compound (65).
