Imidazole → (3aR,4S,5R,6aS)-4-({[tert-Butyl(dimethyl)silyl]oxy}methyl)-5-[(oxan-2-yl)oxy]hexahydro-2H-cyclopenta[b]furan-2-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a dimethylformamide (hereinafter, abbreviated as DMF in some cases) (100 mL) solution of (3aR,4S,5R,6aS)-4-(hydroxymethyl)-5-(tetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-yloxy)hexahydro-2H-cyclopenta[b]furan-2-one (50 g), imidazole (29.22 g), and tert-butyldimethylchlorosilane (30.87 g) were sequentially added under ice-cooling, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3.5 hours. After completion of the reaction, a small amount of ethanol was added; the reaction solution was poured into ice water; and this was extracted with ethyl acetate:hexane (2:3). The extract was washed with 1N hydrochloric acid, an aqueous saturated sodium bicarbonate solution, water and a saturated saline, dried with sodium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure to obtain a titled compound (76.2 g) having the following physical property values.
