[12] 3-Hydroxy-3-(4-nitrobenzyl)pentane-2,4-dione (8). Method A: Ozono-
lysis: A 500-mL three-neck flask equipped with a stirring bar, was
charged with anhydrous ethanol (325 mL), sodium methylate (8.75 g,
162 mmol) and 3-(4-nitrobenzyl)pentane-2,4-dione 7 (CAS number:
56699-21-9) (19.1 g, 81.2 mmol). The stirred mixture was cooled to–
60 8C and ozone in oxygen was bubbled through the stirred solution for
4 h. Then the mixture was flushed with argon and dimethylsulfide
(11 mL, 0.15 mol) was added. After stirring at room temperature for 1 h,
tartaric acid (20 g. 0.13 mol) was added and the suspension was stirred
for 1 h, and then filtered and washed with CH2Cl2 and concentrated
under vacuo to give red oil. The crude product was purified by flash-
chromatography on silica gel (petroleum ether/diethyl ether, 70:30) to
give alcohol 8 (10.4 g, 41.4 mmol, 51%). Method B: Enolate oxidation. To
[18] (2R*,3S*)-2,3-Dimethoxy-1-(4-nitrophenyl)-2-(trans-4-vinylcyclohex-
yl)butane (13). In a 100-mL two-neck flask equipped with a magnetic
bar and an outlet of argon, was added anhydrous nitromethane
(1.62 mL, 29.7 mmol) and anhydrous CH2Cl2 (34 mL). The solution
was cooled to–70 8C and TiCl4 (4.20 mL, 37.2 mmol) was added. Then
12 (2.00 g, 7.43 mmol) diluted in anhydrous CH2Cl2 (5 mL) was slowly
added in 0.5 h. The solution was cooled to–90 8C and Bistro 1 (3.80 g,
14.9 mmol) diluted in anhydrous CH2Cl2 (5 mL) was added. The solu-
tion was stirred at–90 8C for 2 h and then overnights at–60 8C. Then, the
solution was poured onto aqueous saturated NH4Cl solution and
extracted with CH2Cl2. The extract was washed until neutrality and
possibly filtrated on Celite1. The solution was dried over MgSO4, and
concentrated under vacuo. The residue was purified by flash chroma-
tography on silica gel, eluting with a gradient of petroleum ether-
diethyl ether (100:0 to 50:50) to give 13 as a yellow solid (1.34 g,
3.86 mmol, 52%). 1H NMR (CDCl3, 300 MHz) 8.07 (d, J = 8.8 Hz, 2H), 7.46

solution of 7 (4.70 g, 20.0 mmol), K2CO3 (27.6 g, 0.20 mol), and
tetrabutylammonium iodide (1.48 g, 4.0 mmol) in CH2Cl2, acetone,
and water (1/1/1, 600 mL) stirred at 0 8C was added Oxone1 (74 g,
0.12 mol) in water (600 mL) over 30 min. After stirring at 0 8C for 3 h,
the mixture was extracted with CH2Cl2. The organic phase was dried
over MgSO4, filtrated, and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was
