Reaction Steps

tert-butyl (1S,2S,5S)-7-oxo-6-oxabicyclo[3.2.1]octane-2-carboxylate (5.65 g, 25.0 mmol) was suspended in methanol (20 mL). To that suspension was added a 25 wt % solution of sodium methoxide in methanol (52 mL) and the reaction mixture was stirred at rt for 2 h. Then it was cooled into an ice-water bath and neutralized with a 4 M HCl solution to pH 6. After removing the volatiles, brine was added (50 mL) and the solution was extracted with ethyl acetate (3×40 mL). The combined organic layers were dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated to provide the desired product (5.70 g, 88.4% yield). LCMS: m/z 281.1 (M+Na)+.
