Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a 5.0 L round bottom flask containing 4-(tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy)cyclohexanone (7.03 g, 30.8 mmol) (Aldrich) was added THF (100 mL) and the reaction was cooled to −78° C. To the reaction mixture was added lithium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide (33.9 ml, 33.9 mmol) (Aldrich) and the reaction mixture was stirred for 30 minutes followed by the addition of iodomethane (2.309 ml, 36.9 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred for 30 minutes at −78° C. and 2 hours at room temperature, quenched with saturated NH4Cl, extracted with EtOAc (200 mL), dried (NaSO4), filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified on SiO2 and eluted with 0-20% ethyl acetate/hexane to give a white solid (6.40 g) in 86% yield. 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ ppm 4.19-4.07 (m, 1H), 2.98-2.72 (m, 1H), 2.50-1.99 (m, 2H), 1.91-1.64 (m, 2H), 1.62-1.44 (m, 1H), 1.15 (dt, J=4.4, 6.8, 1H), 1.07-0.99 (m, 3H), 0.95-0.85 (m, 9H), 0.11 (d, J=1.6, 6H). MS (DCI+) M/Z 243.
