Reaction Steps

To an ice-cooled solution of (1R)-1,8,8-trimethylbicyclo[3.2.1]octane-2,4-dione (0.36 g, 2.0 mmole), triethylamine (0.20 g, 2.0 mmole) and 4-(dimethylamino)pyridine (0.24 g, 2.0 mmole) in dry dichloromethane (25 mL) was added a solution of 3-chloro-4-fluorophenyl isocyanate (0.34 g, 2.0 mmole) in dry dichloromethane (5 mL). The resulting reaction mixture was allowed to stir overnight under a nitrogen atmosphere, during which time it came up to room temperature. It was then stirred at 30° C. for seven hours. The resulting mixture was treated with 2N aqueous HCl (30 mL) and the layers were separated. The aqueous layer was extracted with two additional portions of dichloromethane (50 mL). The combined organic layers were dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated on a rotary evaporator. The desired product was isolated by chromatography on silica gel (10% ethyl acetate/hexane) and recrystallized from 95% ethanol to yield the title compound as a light orange solid (0.39 g, 56% yield), mp=89–91° C.; MS (−) ESI m/z=352 (M−H)−; [α]D25=+24.0° (c=1, EtOH).
