THF (60 mL) under argon at -78 °C was added dropwise a
1.5 M solution of n-butyllithium in hexane (11.7 mL, 17.5

was stirred for 1 h at 0 °C, a solution of 4-(tert-butyldimeth-
ylsiloxy)butyraldehyde (1.5g, 7.3 mmol) in THF (60 mL) was
added at -78 °C. After the solution was stirred for 50 min at
-78 °C and for 50 min at 0 °C, the reaction was quenched
with saturated ammonium chloride (60 mL) and the pH was
adjusted to 4-5 with 5% H2SO4. The solution was extracted
with ethyl acetate (3 × 60 mL), dried, and evaporated. The
