To a suspension of MePh3PBr (37.1 g, 104 mmol) in THF (500 mL) at 0C was added slowly LDA (1.2 eq) over 1 h. The resulting orange solution was stirred for 30 min before ethyl 4-oxocyclohexanecarboxyIate (16.1 g, 94.4 mmol) was added dropwise. The resulting suspension was warmed to rt and stirred overnight (may not necessary). A saturated NH4CI (aq) was added and THF was removed. The aqueous residue was extracted with EtOAc (100*3). The combined organic layers were washed with brine, dried over Na2S04 and concentrated. The residue was purified by passing through a short silica gel plug(hexanes/EtOAc 7:1). After being concentrated, ethyl 4-methylenecyclohexanecarboxylate was obtained as pale yellow oil (12.1 g, 76%). |
