ethyl 5-bromo-2,2-dimethyl-4-oxopentanoate

Conditions: temp:-2.51; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: To a reaction flask containing THF (5.0-fold, V/W of starting material) was added 5-bromo-2,2-dimethyl-4-oxo-pentanoic acid ethyl ester (1.0 eq) under N2. The mixture was cooled to a temperature of −5-0° C., and a solution of 2-methyl-2-propanethiol (1.2 eq) and triethylamine (1.25 eq) was added while maintaining the temperature below 0° C. The reaction was stirred at room temperature for 25 hours, and then hexane (3.0-fold, V/W of starting material) was slowly added. After agitating for 30 minutes, the solid material was removed by filtration and washed with 50% EtOAc/hexane solution. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to give the desired product, which was taken on to the next step without further purification. while maintaining the temperature below 0° C After agitating for 30 minutes the solid material was removed by filtration washed with 50% EtOAc/hexane solution The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure

Procedure: To a reaction flask containing tetrahydrofuran (5.0-fold, V/W of starting material) was added 5-bromo-2,2-dimethyl-4-oxo-pentanoic acid ethyl ester (1.0 eq) under nitrogen. The mixture was cooled to a temperature of −5-0° C., and a solution of 2-methyl-2-propanethiol (1.2 eq) and triethylamine (1.25 eq) was added while maintaining the temperature below 0° C. The reaction was stirred at room temperature for 25 hours, and then hexane (3.0-fold, V/W of starting material) was slowly added. After agitating for 30 minutes, the solid material was removed by filtration and washed with 50% ethyl acetate/hexane solution. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to give the desired product, which was taken on to the next step without further purification. while maintaining the temperature below 0° C After agitating for 30 minutes the solid material was removed by filtration washed with 50% ethyl acetate/hexane solution The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure
