Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 6-hydroxy-5-methoxy-4-[2-methyl-3-(3-methyl-2-butenyl)oxiranyl]-1-oxaspiro[2,5]octane (26 mg), pyridine (44 μl), and 4-dimethylaminopyridine (2 mg) in dichloromethane (0.8 ml) was added dropwise 4-nitrophenyl chloroformate (20 mg) at ambient temperature. After stirring for 2 hours, piperidine (40 μl) was added in one portion. The solution was stirred overnight at ambient temperature and then diluted with diethyl ether (20 ml). The mixture was washed with brine, aqueous saturated sodium bicarbonate solution, and brine successively. The mixture was dried and evaporated under reduced pressure to give a crude oil, which was purified by preparative thin layer chromatography to yield 5-methoxy-4-[2-methyl-3-(3-methyl-2-butenyl)oxiranyl]-6-piperidinocarbonyloxy-1-oxaspiro[2,5]octane (34.3 mg).
