Reaction Steps

2.5M n-Butylithium in hexanes (49.3 cm3, 0.12 mol) was added dropwise to a cooled (−78° C.) solution of 1-bromo-4-[(S)-3,7-dimethyloct-6-enyloxy]benzene (35 g, 0.11 mol) in tetrahydrofuran (350 cm3). The resultant solution was stirred at this temperature for 1 h and then trimethyl borate (23.8 g, 0.23 mol) was added dropwise to the mixture while maintaining the temperature at −78° C. 20% hydrochloric acid (250 cm3) was added and the resultant mixture was stirred for 1 h and then extracted into diethyl ether (2×200 cm3). The combined organic layers were washed with water (2×100 cm3) and dried (MgSO4). After filtration the solvent was removed under reduce pressure to yield 20.35 g (65%) of the desired product.
