§ Typical procedure for the copper cyanide-mediated esterification: To a
stirred suspension of 2 (400 mg, 1.62 mmol, 100% ee) and CuCN (727 mg,
8.12 mmol) in toluene (5 mL) at room temperature was added a solution
of the acid chloride 22 (4.87 mmol) in toluene (10 mL). After being
stirred for 18.5 h at 50 ◦C, the mixture was filtered through a Celite pad
and the insoluble material was washed with ethyl acetate. The combined
filtrates were washed with brine, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and
concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by silica gel column
chromatography (n-hexane/ethyl acetate = 3/1) to give 23 (719.5 mg,
87.4%) as a brown oil.
