Yield:13865-19-5 86%
Reaction Conditions:
Stage #1: methyl 5-methyl-hex-4-enoatewith ozone in methanol;dichloromethane at -78; for 0.5 h;
Stage #2: with triphenylphosphine in methanol;dichloromethane at -78 - 20; for 3 h;
Steps:
Methyl 4-oxobutanoate (5)
A solution of S2 (12.0 g, 84.3 mmol) in the 5:1 mixture of CH2Cl2 and MeOH (total 120 mL) was stirred under O3 bubbling for 30 minutes at -78 °C. Then the reaction mixture was bubbled with argon gas to purge off unreacted O3, and triphenyl phosphine (26.5 g, 101 mmol) was added at -78 °C. The resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3 hours. Then the reaction mixture was concentrated by distillation. The resulting residue was purified by distillation (75 °C, 15 mmHg) to afford 51 (8.46 g, 86%) as a colorless oil.
