Procedure: To a stirred solution of 5.0 g (0.023 mol) of benzenesulfonyl-acetic acid methyl ester in 10 mL of MeOH at RT, 3.50 g (0.070 mol, 3 eq) of hydrazine hydrate were added. After one hour, the solvent and the excess of hydrazine were removed under reduced pressure, yielding 4.90 g (quantitative) of benzenesulfonyl-acetic acid hydrazide as a colorless oil, MS: 232 (MNH4+). the solvent and the excess of hydrazine were removed under reduced pressure

Procedure: To a stirred solution of 1.26 g (5.9 mmol) of methyl phenylsulfonylacetate in 20 mL of MeOH at 0° C., 0.22 mL (1.17 mmol, 0.2 eq) of a solution of sodium methoxide (5.4 M in MeOH) were added. After 15 min, 0.53 g (6.5 mmol, 1.1 eq) of cyclopent-2-enone were added. The reaction mixture was allowed to reached RT within 4 hours, diluted with saturated aqueous NH4Cl and extracted with EtOAc. The combined organic phases were dried over Na2SO4, filtered and evaporated. Column chromatography on silica gel with heptane/EtOAc 1:1 yielded 1.34 g (77%) of benzenesulfonyl-(3-oxo-cyclopentyl)-acetic acid methyl ester as a racemic mixture of diastereomers, colorless oil, MS: 297 (MH+. to reached RT within 4 hours extracted with EtOAc The combined organic phases were dried over Na2SO4 filtered evaporated

Procedure: To a stirred solution of 9 g (0.042 mol) of methyl phenylsulfonylacetate in 90 mL of MeOH at 0° C., 1.56 mL (0.008 mol, 0.2 eq) of a solution of sodium methoxide (5.4 M in MeOH) were added. After 15 min, 4.04 g (0.02 mol) of 2-cyclohexen-1-one were added. The reaction mixture was allowed to reach RT within 4 hours, diluted with saturated aqueous NH4Cl and extracted with EtOAc. The combined organic phases were dried over Na2SO4, filtered and evaporated. Column chromatography on silica gel with heptane/EtOAc 1:1 yielded 11.50 g (88%) of benzenesulfonyl-(3-oxo-cyclohexyl)-acetic acid methyl ester as a racemic mixture of diastereomers, light yellow oil, MS: 311 (MH+). to reach RT within 4 hours extracted with EtOAc The combined organic phases were dried over Na2SO4 filtered evaporated

Procedure: Methyl phenylsulfonylacetate (0.64 ml, 4.0 mmol) was diluted with DMF (5 ml). Sodium hydride (384 mg, 16 mmol) and ethyl bromide (1.19 ml, 16 mmol) were added thereto under argon atmosphere. The mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. Water was added to the reaction mixture under cooling with ice to terminate the reaction. After the extraction with ethyl acetate (10 ml×3), the organic layers were combined together, dried and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by the silica gel column chromatography (hexane, hexane/ethyl acetate, 100/1) to obtain an intermediate product. The intermediate product (532 mg, 1.97 mmol) was dissolved in THF (4 ml). Water (70.9 μl, 3.84 mmol) and tBuOK (1.77 g, 15.8 mmol) were added to the obtained solution. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 4 days. Additional water (35.5 μl, 1.97 mmol) and tBuOK (1.55 g, 13.8 mmol) were added to the obtained solution. After stirring at room temperature for 9 days, the reaction mixture was diluted with DCM (10 ml). The resultant mixture was extracted with water (10 ml). pH of the aqueous layer was adjusted to 2. After the extraction with DCM (10 ml×3), the organic layers were combined together, dried and concentrated under reduced pressure to quantitatively obtain 481 mg of the intended compound. under cooling with ice to terminate the reaction After the extraction with ethyl acetate (10 ml×3) dried concentrated under reduced pressure The residue was purified by the silica gel column chromatography (hexane, hexane/ethyl acetate, 100/1) to obtain an intermediate product The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 4 days After stirring at room temperature for 9 days The resultant mixture was extracted with water (10 ml) After the extraction with DCM (10 ml×3) dried concentrated under reduced pressure to quantitatively obtain 481 mg of the intended compound
