Tert-butyl 6-benzyloxy-5-hydroxy-3-oxohexanoate

[0044]Under argon gas, a solution composed of 5.01 g (49.5 mmol) of diisopropylamine and 5 mL of tetrahydrofuran was added dropwise to 30 mL (45 mmol) of n-butyllithium / hexane (1.5 mol / L) with stirring at 5° C. and the mixture was stirred for 1 hour to prepare: a lithium diisopropylamide solution.

[0045]In 8.0 ml of tetrahydrofuran were dissolved 2.38 g (10 mmol) of ethyl 4-benzyloxy-3-hydroxybutyrate and 2.32 g (20 mmol) of tert-butyl acetate, and the solution was stirred in an argon atmosphere at 0 to 5° C. To this solution, the lithium diisopropylamide solution prepared above was added dropwise over 30 minutes, and the mixture was further stirred at 5 to 20° C. for 16 hours.

[0046]In a separate vessel, 35 mL of 3 N-hydrochloric acid was mixed with 30 mL, of ethyl acetate under stirring and the above reaction mixture was poured. After standing, the organic layer was separated, washed with saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution, and ...

Tert-butyl 6-benzyloxy-5-hydroxy-3-oxohexanoate

[0050]Under argon gas, a solution composed of 3.90 g (38.5 mmol) of diisopropylamine and 3 mL of tetrahydrofuran was added dropwise to 22.9 ml-(35 mmol) of n-butyllithium / hexane (1.5 mol / L) with stirring at 5° C. and the mixture was stirred for 1 hour to prepare a lithium diisopropylamide solution.

[0051]In 3.0 ml of tetrahydrofuran were dissolved 2.38 g (10 mmol) of ethyl 4-benzyloxy-3-hydroxybutyrate and 2.32 g (20 mmol) of tert-butyl acetate, and the solution was stirred in an argon atmosphere at 0 to 5° C. To this solution was added 5.7 g (10 mmol) of a solution of tert-butylmagnesium chloride in toluene / tetrahydrofuran (1:2.5 by weight) (1.75 mol / kg) dropwise over 10 minutes, and the mixture was further stirred at 5° C. for 50 minutes. To this, the lithium diisopropylamide solution prepared above was added drop-wise over 30 minutes, and the mixture was further stirred at 5 to 20° C. for 16 hours.
