tert-Butyldimethylsilyl chloride → 1-(Prop-2-enyl)-3-(r)-(t-butyldimethylsilyloxymethyl)-4-(s)-(3-thienyl)pyrrolidine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 1.06 g (4.75 mmol) of 1-(prop-2-enyl)-(3-(R)-(hydroxymethyl))-4-(S)-(3-thienyl)pyrrolidine (from Step A) in 12.0 mL of CH2Cl2 at 0° C. was treated with 0.99 mL (5.7 mmol) of N,N-diisopropylethylamine and 855 mg (5.6 mmol) of t-butyldimethylsilyl chloride. After warming to rt and stirring for 20 h, the solution was partitioned between 100 mL of ether and 100 mL of H2O. After separating the phases, the aqueous layer was extracted with 100 mL of ether. The combined organic phases were dried over MgSO4 and concentrated. The residue was purified by flash chromatography eluting with 3:1 v/v hexanes/EtOAc to yield 1.24 g (77%) of the title compound: RF: 0.54 (3:2 v/v hexanes/EtOAc); 1HNMR (300 Mhz) δ 0.0 (s, 6H), 0.86 (s, 9H), 2.35 (m, 1H), 2.52-2.71 (m, 3H), 2.97-3.20 (m, 4H), 3.54-3.66 (m, 2H), 5.06-5.21 (m, 2H), 5.89 (m, 1H). 6.98-7.02 (m, 2H), 7.22 (m, 1H).
