Reaction Steps

To a solution of 0.5 g of crude 5-hydroxy-5-pyridin-3-yl-bicyclo[2.2.2]octan-2-one (intermediate K3A.2) in 20 mL DCM were added 84 mg DMAP and 1.6 mL NEt3. The mixture was cooled to 0° C. before 0.53 mL of mesylchloride was added dropwise. The resulting suspension was stirred at 0° C. for 1 h and then overnight at rt. The reaction was quenched by the addition of sat. aq. NaHCO3 solution. The water phase was extracted with EtOAc. The combined organic phases were washed with brine, dried over MgSO4 and concentrated in vacuo. Purification by CC (EtOAc) yielded 0.27 g of rac-(1R*,4R*)-5-pyridin-3-yl-bicyclo[2.2.2]oct-5-en-2-one as yellow oil.
