Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4.44 g of diisopropylamine in 20 ml of tetrahydrofuran were sequentially added 26 ml of 1.6 M solution of n-butyllithium in hexane, 5.30 g of methyl tetrahydro-2-furancarboxylate in 20 ml of tetrahydrofuran and 8.85 g of 1-bromomethyl-3-methoxybenzene in 25 ml of tetrahydrofuran at −70° C. under an atmosphere of nitrogen gas. After warming to room temperature, 100 ml of 1N hydrochloric acid and 200 ml of ethyl acetate were added. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and the solvent was evaporated. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography, to give 6.01 g of the title compound from the 4:1 hexane-ethyl acetate fraction.
