Reaction Steps

To a solution of 6-iodo-1,4-dioxaspiro[4.5]dec-6-ene (Synlett, 2008, 1086-1090; 2.70 g, 10.2 mmol) in THF (30 mL), butyl lithium (1.65 M solution in hexane; 6.7 mL, 11.1 mmol) was added at −78° C. The reaction solution was stirred at −78° C. for 1 hour. Then, 4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-2-(propan-2-yloxy)-1,3,2-dioxaborolane (4.0 mL, 19.8 mmol) was added thereto, and the mixture was stirred at −78° C. for 2 hours. To the reaction solution, water (50 mL) was added, followed by extraction with ethyl acetate (50 mL). The thus obtained organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. After vacuum concentration, the residue was purified with silica gel chromatography (hexane/ethyl acetate=9:1) to yield the title compound (1.52 g, 56%) as a colorless oil.
