Reaction Steps

The resulting lithium carbamate compound (Compound 2a) (8.47 g, 42.60 mmol) was put into a Schlenk flask. Thereafter, tetrahydrofuran (4.6 g, 63.9 mmol) and diethylether (45 mL) were added thereto in this order. The Schlenk flask was immersed in an acetone/small amount of dry ice cooling bath at −20° C., and shaken for 30 minutes, and then tert-BuLi (25.1 mL, 1.7 M, 42.60 mmol) was added thereto. At that time, the reaction mixture turned red. While maintaining the temperature at −20° C., the reaction mixture was stirred for 6 hours. A CeCl3.2LiCl solution of tetrahydrofuran (129 mL, 0.33 M, 42.60 mmol) and tetramethylcyclopentanone (5.89 g, 42.60 mmol) were mixed in a syringe, and then introduced into the flask under nitrogen atmosphere. The flask was gradually warmed to ambient temperature, and one hour later, the incubator was removed, and the temperature was maintained at ambient temperature. Then, water (15 mL) was added into the flask, and ethyl acetate was added thereto to obtain a filtrate. The filtrate was transferred into a separatory funnel, and hydrochloric acid (2 N, 80 mL) was added thereto, and the separatory funnel was shaken for 12 minutes. Thereafter, a saturated, aqueous sodium carbonate solution (160 mL) was added thereto to neutralize the solution, and then an organic phase was extracted. To this organic phase, anhydrous magnesium sulfate was added to remove moisture, the resultant was filtered and taken, and the solvent was removed. The resulting filtrate was purified by column chromatography using a hexane/ethyl acetate (v/v, 10:1) solvent to obtain a yellow oil. The yield was 40%.
