Abstract

The title compound was prepared from ethyl acrylate over seven steps. En route, an ester was prepared that could be catalytically activated with Sc(OTf)3 to undergo a (4+3) cycloaddition with 2,5-dimethylfuran. The title compound reacts with organolithium species and the resultant alkoxide can be trapped as an ester or allowed to experience a silyl shift to produce a highly functionalized ketone.
