Amide of an octanoic acid possessing an aryl group at C3 position is a highly potent ACAT inhibitor. In this paper, we describe a synthetic access to this class of compounds as optically active forms. The key reaction is substitution of the allylic picolinate of (S,Z)-8-(benzyloxy)oct-5-en-4-ol with a copper reagent derived from (benzo[d][1,3]dioxol-4-yl)MgBr and CuBr center dot Me(2)S to produce anti S(N)2' product regio- and stereo-selectively. The product was hydrogenated to afford (S)-3-benzo[d][1,3]dioxol-4-yloctan-1-ol, which upon oxidation furnished the octanoic acid. Finally, the acid was converted with 2,6-(i-Pr)(2) C(6)H(3)NH(2) to the target amide via acid chloride. In a similar way, the one-carbon long homolog was synthesized. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd.
