Pyridine → 1-[(3aR,5S,6aR)-2,2-dimethyl-3a,5,6,6a-tetrahydrofuro[2,3-d][1,3]dioxol-5-yl]propyl benzoate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of crude 1-[(3aR,5S,6aR)-2,2-dimethyl-3a,5,6,6a-tetrahydrofuro[2,3-d][1,3]dioxol-5-yl]propan-1-ol (compound 1e, 8.08 g, 40.0 mmol) and pyridine (16.1 mL, 200 mmol) in DCM was added benzoyl chloride (5.0 mL, 43.0 mmol) dropwise at 0° C. After the addition, the mixture was warmed to room temperature and stirred at room temperature overnight. The resulting mixture was washed with 1N hydrochloric acid, brine, dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (eluting with 1:3 EtOAc in petroleum ether) to afford 6.86 g of 1-[(3aR,5S,6aR)-2,2-dimethyl-3a,5,6,6a-tetrahydrofuro[2,3-d][1,3]dioxol-5-yl]propyl benzoate (compound 26a).
