Participants

Reaction Steps

.045 g (3 mmol) of benzoyl chloride was added under ice cooling to a mixture of 0.5 g (3 mmol) of the 1-fluoro-2-hydroxy-1-cyclopentanecarboxylic acid methyl ester in cis form (compound number 2a) synthesized in Example 1 and 2 ml of pyridine, the temperature of the mixture was brought back to room temperature, and the mixture was stirred for 5 hours. The reaction solution was poured into a diluted aqueous hydrochloric acid solution and extracted with ethyl acetate and the extract was successively washed with saturated saline, a saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution and saturated saline. The ethyl acetate layer was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and the solvent was distilled away to obtain 0.68 g (yield: 84%) of the objective 2-benzoyloxy-1-fluoro-cyclopentanecarboxylic acid methyl ester in cis form (compound number 4a).
