Reaction Steps

This compound was prepared according to a procedure similar to that described in Procedure A. Into a 25-mL three neck-round bottle flask, was placed a solution of 3-oxocyclobutyl benzoate (380 mg, 2.0 mmol, 1.00 equiv) in tetrahydrofuran (10 mL). Ethynylmagnesium bromide (0.5 M in tetrahydrofuran, 6 mL) was added dropwise, then resulting solution was stirred for 30 min at −76° C. When the mixture was warmed to room temperature in air, quenched by addition of saturated aqueous ammonium chloride (5 mL), the organic layer was washed by brine (10 mL), dried and concentrated under vacuum. The residue was applied onto a silica gel column with ethyl acetate/petroleum ether (1:6). This resulted in 300 mg (69%) of 3-ethynyl-3-hydroxycyclobutyl benzoate as a white solid. 1H-NMR: (300 MHz, CDCl3, ppm) δ 8.100-8.000 (m, 1H), 7.610-7.500 (t, 1H), 7.499-7.380 (m, 2H), 5.160-5.040 (m, 1H), 3.150-3.010 (m, 2H), 2.610-2.470 (m, 3H).
