Tetrahydrofuran → Lithium Hexamethyldisilazide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a tetrahydrofuran (hereinafter referred to simply as THF) (90 ml) solution of hexamethyldisilazane (6.84 ml), 19.1 ml of n-butyl lithium (a 1.56M hexane solution) was added at -78° C., and the mixture was stirred for 30 minutes to obtain a lithium hexamethyldisilazide solution. To this solution, a THF (20 ml) solution of 10 g of (1S,5R,6R,7R)-2-oxa-7-(2-tetrahydropyranyloxy)-6-(t-butyldimethylsiloxy)methyl-bicyclo[3.3.0]octan-3-one (Compound 1) was dropwise added at -78° C., and the mixture was stirred for 60 minutes. Then, a THF (40 ml) solution of 9.37 g of N-fluorobenzenesulfonimide was added thereto at -78° C. The mixture was stirred at -78° C. for 60 minutes, then stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes. Then, it was poured into a saturated sodium hydrogen carbonate aqueous solution, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was purified by silica gel column chromatography (ethyl acetate:hexane=1:8 to 1:4) to obtain 9.46 g of the above-identified compound.
