Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 106d (5.31 g, 12.6 mmol) in HCO2H (50 mL) was stirred for 3 h, evaporated in vacuo and coevaporated from toluene (3×25 mL) to give 107d (3.89 g, 99%) as a white solid. An analytical sample was obtained after recrystallization from iPr2O/heptane. mp 132-134° C. 1H NMR: (CD3OD) δ 2.45 (t, J=6.9 Hz, 4H), 1.58-1.39 (m, 12H), 1.14 (dd, J=6.6, 3.7 Hz, 4H), 0.70 (dd, J=6.8, 3.9 Hz, 4H). 13C NMR: (CD3OD) δ 214.4, 179.4 (2×), 43.5 (2×), 34.9 (2×), 28.5 (2×), 25.1 (2×), 24.2 (2×), 16.2 (4×). Anal. calcd for C17H26O5: C, 65.78; H, 8.44. found: C, 65.40; H, 8.37.
