Reaction Steps

To a solution of (1R,2R)-2-(pent-4-en-1-yl)cyclopropanol (See International Patent Application Publication No. WO08/057209) (2.13 g; 70% wt) in acetonitrile (20 ml) was added pyridine (1.5 ml), followed by N,N′-disuccinimidyl carbonate (3.74 g) and a crystal of DMAP. The mixture was stirred at 40° C. overnight. After cooling to room temperature, the reaction mixture was diluted with ether and washed with HCl 1N, water and brine and dried over sodium sulfate. The organic layer was filtered and concentrated to provide the desired product (2.88 g) as an oil. 1H NMR (500 MHz, CDCl3): δ (ppm) 4.06-4.03 (m, 1H), 2.87 (s, 4H), 2.28-2.25 (m, 2H), 1.98-1.97 (m, 1H), 1.72-1.65 (m, 2H), 1.46-1.40 (m, 2H), 1.31-1.24 (m, 1H), 1.12-1.08 (m, 1H), 0.72-0.68 (m, 1H).
