Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A solution of copper cyanide (1.15 g, 12.9 mmol) in THF (30 mL) at −78° C. was treated slowly with n-butyllithium (16.9 mL, 27.1 mmol), stirred for 15 minutes at −78° C., treated with tributyltin hydride (7.88 g, 7.30 mL, 27.1 mmol) over a period of 5 minutes, stirred for 15 minutes, treated with tert-butyl 2-propynylcarbamate (2.00 g, 12.9 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (7 mL), stirred at −78° C. for 1 hour, and treated with a 9:1 aqueous solution of ammonium chloride:ammonium hydroxide (250 mL) and dichloromethane (200 mL). The suspension was filtered through a short pad of diatomaceous earth (Celite®). The organic phase of the filtrate was washed with brine and concentrated. The residue was purified on silica gel using 1-2% ethyl acetate/heptane to provide the desired product (3.66 g, 63%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 6.08 (dt, B part of an AB system, J=19.3 Hz, 1.3 Hz, IH); 5.93 (dt, A part of an AB system, J=19.3 Hz, 4.8 Hz, 1H), 4.59 (br s, 1H), 3.78 (br s, 2H), 1.45 (s, 9H), 1.32-1.26, (m, 12H), 0.90-0.85 (m, 15H).
