Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

(3-Benzyloxypropyl)triphenylphosphonium bromide (2.88 g, 5.86 mmol) was suspended in 15 mL THF and cooled to 0° C. Sodium bis(trimethylsily)amide (1M in THF, 5.63 mL, 5.63 mmol) was added drop wise. The mixture turned deep orange. tert-Butyl 4-formylpiperidine-1-carboxylate (1 g, 4.69 mmol) in 3 mL THF was added after 5 minutes. Color faded to slight yellow. The reaction was stirred at room temperature for 1.5 hours, before quenching with saturated aqueous ammonium chloride solution. The aqueous layer was extracted twice with ethyl acetate. The organic layers were combined, washed with water and brine, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, concentrated and purified by passing through a 40 gram Biotage™ silica gel cartridge using 20% EtOAc/hexanes to afford the product as colorless oil. NMR integration indicated >20:1 Z/E selectivity. LRMS calc: 345.2; obs: 346.5 (M+1).
