Compound 2: A solution of 5-chloro-1-pentanol (999 mg, 8.15 mmol), 1
(2.00 g, 4.08 mmol), K2CO3 (1.69 g, 12.23 mmol), LiBr (10 mg, cat.
amount), and [18]crown-6 (10 mg, cat. amount) in dry MeCN(80 mL)
was heated under reflux for 6 d. After cooling down to room tempera-
ture, the reaction mixture was filtered and the residue was washed with
MeCN(50 mL). The combined organic phase was concentrated in vacuo
and the crude product was purified by column chromatography (SiO2:
CH2Cl2) to give 2 (1.95 g, 83%) as a white solid. M.p. 190–1928C;

Compound 8: DEAD (724 mg, 4.16 mmol) was added dropwise at 08C
under an Ar atmosphere to
a solution of 2 (1.20 g, 2.08 mmol), 4
(392 mg, 2.08 mmol), (609 mg, 2.29 mmol), and PPh3 (1.09 g,

temperature for 16 h. The mixture was filtered though silica gel and the
solution was evaporated in vacuo to obtain a crude product, which was
then purified by column chromatography (SiO2: CH2Cl2/Me2CO, 100:3).
