Sodium hydride → 7-[2-Oxo-6-((E)-3-oxo-oct-1-enyl)-piperidin-1-yl]-hept-5-ynoic acid methyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

Sodium hydride (60% dispersion in oil, 37 mg, 0.91 mmol) was added to a solution of dimethyl 2-oxoheptylphosphonate (217 mg, 0.83 mmol) in THF (4 mL) at 0° C. After 10 min at 0° C., the solution was allowed to warm to rt. After 50 min at rt, the solution was recooled to 0° C. and 7-(2-formyl-6-oxo-piperidin-1-yl)-hept-5-ynoic acid methyl ester (crude from previous reaction, ˜0.92 mmol) in THF (2 mL) was added via cannula. The reaction was allowed to warm to rt. After 18 h at rt, the reaction was quenched with acetic acid and water (1:1, 15 mL) and extracted with EtOAc (3×40 mL). The combined organic phase was washed with brine (50 mL), dried (Na2SO4), filtered and concentrated in vacuo. Purification of the residue by flash column chromatography on silica gel (10% →50% EtOAc/CH2Cl2, gradient) afforded 175 mg (58%) of the title compound.
