Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5.74 ml (93.33 mmol) of 0.58M potassium hexamethyldisilazane in toluene is added dropwise 0.66 ml triethyl phosphonoacetate resulting in a yellow gelatinous mixture. This reaction mixture is stirred at room temperature for 25 min, a solution of 0.5 g (1.66 mmol) 1-(3-pyridyl)-4-oxo-8-(2-tetrahydropyranyloxy)-octane in 3 ml toluene is added and the mixture is refluxed for 15 h. The reaction mixture is cooled to room temperature, quenched with 5 ml saturated aqueous ammonium chloride solution and extracted with ethyl acetate twice. The combined organic phase is washed with water and brine, dried, filtered, and concentrated to give a brown oil which is purified by chromatography using 1:1 ethyl acetate/hexane to yield ethyl 3-[3-(3-pyridyl)propyl]-7-(2-tetrahydropyranyloxy)-hept-2-enoate as a mixture of cis and trans isomers; NMR (CDCl3): delta 5.7 (s,1H), 4.2 (q,2H), 1.3 (t,3H).
