Reaction Steps

A 50 ml two-necked round-bottom flask was flame dried and allowed to be cooled under nitrogen. (1S,2R,3R,4R)-2-allyl-4-(tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy)-3-((R,E)-3-(triethylsilyloxy)-4-(3-(trifluoromethyl)phenoxy)but-1-enyl)cyclopentanol (1 g, 1.66 mmol) in 10 ml of DMF, 0.05 g (0.33 mmol) of DMAP, 0.21 g (1.83 mmol) of 5-hexenoic acid, and 0.41 g (2.00 mmol) of N,N′-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide were added to the reaction flask. The reaction mixture was heated at 40° C. for 24 hours. The reaction was quenched with 10 ml saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate. The reaction mixture was phase separated and the aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layers were combined and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solid was filtered off and organic solvent was evaporated off under vacuum. The crude product was purified by chromatography and then concentrated under reduced pressure to provide 1.05 g of the title compound (90.52% yield).
