(4R)-4-methylheptanoic acid

Conditions: temp:0.00; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: To the acid 99 (19 g, 0.132 mol) and triethylamine (49.9 g, 0.494 mol) in THF (500 mL) at 0° C. was added trimethylacetylchloride (20 g, 0.17 mol). After 1 hour LiCl (7.1 g, 0.17 mol) was added followed by the oxazolidinone (30 g, 0.17 mol). The mixture was warmed to room temperature and after 16 hours the filtrate was removed by filtration and the solution concentrated under reduced pressure. Flash chromatography (7:1 hexane/EtOAc) gave the product 100 as an oil. 31.5 g; 79%. [□]D=5.5 (c 1 in CHCl3). MS, m/z (relative intensity): 304 [M+H, 100%]. was removed by filtration the solution concentrated under reduced pressure

Procedure: To alkene 98 (20 g, 0.13 mol) in acetone (433 mL) was added a solution of CrO3 (39 g, 0.39 mol) in H2SO4 (33 mL)/H2O (146 mL) over 50 minutes. After 6 hours a further amount of CrO3 (26 g, 0.26 mol) in H2SO4 (22 mL)/H2O (100 mL) was added. After 12 hours the solution was diluted with brine and the solution extracted with ether. The combined organic phases were dried (MgSO4) and concentrated. Flash chromatography (gradient of 6:1 to 2:1 hexane/EtOAc) gave the product 99 as an oil. 12.1 g; 65%.
