Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A solution of lithium diisopropylamide-tetrahydrofuran 1.5M solution in cyclohexane (15 mmol, 10 mL) was cooled to −70° C., and a solution of cyclopentane carboxylic acid methyl ester (10 mmol, 1.28 g) in THF (10 mL) was added dropwise over 15 min, maintaining the internal temperature at −60 to −70° C. The yellow solution was stirred 1 h at −70° C. and a solution of 5-iodo-2-pentanone ethylene ketal (10 mmol, 1.28 g) in THF (10 mL) was added over 15 min, while maintaining temperature of −70° C. After srirring for 1 h at −70° C., the reaction mixture was allowed to warm to room temperature overnight. The reaction mixture was poured into brine (150 mL) and the organic layer was separated. The aqueous layer was extracted with ether (20 mL), the combined organic layers were washed with brine (10 mL), dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and evaporated to dryness to give 2.5 g (97%) of a pale yellow oil.
