Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3,5-dimethylisoxazole (9.71 g, 100 mmol) in dry tetrahydrofuran (30 ml) cooled to -78° C. was added n-BuLi (2.5M in hexane, 100 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at -78° C. for 1 h. A solution of 3-quinuclidinone (6.25 g, 50 mmol) dissolved in dry tetrahydrofuran (50 ml) was added. The reaction mixture was stirred for 2 h at -78° C., then quenched with water (100 ml) and acidified with concentrated hydrochloric acid. The water phase was extracted with ether (2×50 ml), then basified with solid potassium carbonate and extracted with methylene chloride (4×100 ml). The methylene chloride phases were collected and dried over magnesium sulfate. After evaporation of the solvent the title compound was isolated in 10.04 g. 90% yield.
