Procedure
To a stirred solution of 3-oxetanone (0.5 g, 6.93 mmol) in dry THF (6 mL), at −78° C., under argon atmosphere, 2.5M solution of butyl lithium (BuLi) in hexane (3.05 mL, 7.62 mmol) was added dropwise over 10 min. The reaction was left to react 3 h at −78° C., then quenched with water and concentrated to dryness. The crude mixture was dissolved in CH2Cl2 and dried over Na2SO4. The organic solution was filtered and concentrated to dryness to afford a pale yellow oil (0.505 g). The crude product was purified by column chromatography using a Teledyne ISCO apparatus, eluting with Cy/TBME (from 100:0 to 70:30) affording the title compound (0.45 g, 50%) as transparent oil. 1H NMR (CDCl3): δ 0.90-1.04 (m, 3H), 1.36-1.47 (m, 4H), 1.79-1.93 (m, 2H), 4.53 (d, J=7.1, 2H), 4.59 (d, J=6.9, 2H).
