Participants

Reaction Steps

Prepared according to the general procedure from 3-(benzyloxymethyl)cyclopent-2-enone (202 mg, 1 mmol) for 24 h at 0° C. After the reaction mixture was passed though a short pad of silica gel, the resulting solution was poured into 5 mL of a 10% HCl solution and diluted with 5 mL of Et2O. The organic layer was washed with 5 mL of a 10% HCl solution (4×) and with 5 mL of water (1×). The resulting solution was dried over MgSO4 and concentrated in vacuo to provide the title compound as a colorless oil (155 mg, 76% yield, 91% ee) after purification by flash chromatography on silica gel (15% Et2O/pentane). The enantiomeric ratio was determined by GLC using a Hydrodex-B-TBDAc (50 m×0.25 mm) column (150° C. isotherm, 1 mL/min.); (S) isomer tr=151.2 min. and (R) isomer tr=153.2 min.
