Procedure

3-Cyclohexyl-thiopropionic acid S-pyridin-2-yl ester (1.43 g, 5.74 mmol) from Step 1 above was dissolved in dry THF (28 mL) and cooled to −78° C. A solution of cyclopentylmagnesium bromide in Et2O (2.0 M, 3.01 mL, 6.02 mmol) was added dropwise. After stirring 1 h, the cooling bath was removed. The reaction mixture was quenched with 1 N HCl and extracted with EtOAc (100 mL). The organic phase was washed with brine (50 mL), dried over Na2SO4 and evaporated. The residue was purified by flash column chromatography (1% EtOAc in hexanes) to give the product (0.99 g, 83%) as clear oil.
