Reaction Steps

A solution of butyl cyclopropanesulfonate 2 (1.2 g, 6.7 mmol) in THF (24 mL) was cooled to −78° C. and n-butyllithium (1.6M in n-hexane, 5.0 mL, 8.1 mmol) was added within 5 min. The mixture was stirred for 30 min and epoxypropane derivative 1 or 8 (8.1 mmol) was added followed by addition of boron trifluoride diethyl etherate (0.84 mL, 6.7 mmol). The solution was stirred for 1 h at −78° C., the cooling bath was removed and stirring was continued for 2 additional hours. For aqueous work-up diluted hydrochloric acid (10%, 0.8 mL), water (10 mL) and ethyl acetate (20 mL) were added. The organic layer was is concentrated at 40° C. to afford the corresponding butyl 1-[2-hydroxypropyl]cyclopropanesulfonate 3.
