Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 51.27 g (0.40 mol) of ethyl tiglate, 76.12 g (1.00 mol) of thioacetic acid, and 7.60 g (0.04 mol) of para-toluenesulfonic acid was stirred under nitrogen atmosphere at 75° C. for 24 hours. After cooling, diethyl ether and a saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution were added to the reaction mixture. The organic layer was separated and washed twice with brine. The solvent in the organic layer was evaporated off, and vacuum distillation (68 to 71° C./2 torr) was performed to give 76.36 g of the objective compound (GC purity: 98.3%, yield: 91.8%, diastereomer ratio: 80.9/19.1).
