Reaction Steps

To a stirring degassed solution of N-(t-butoxycarbonyl)-(R)-1,3,4,10b-tetrahydro-9-bromo-7-trifluoromethyl-pyrazino[2,1-a]isoindol-6(2H)-one (435 mg, 1.0 mmol), bis(pinacolato)diboron (279 mg, 1.1 mmol), and potassium acetate (294 mg, 3.0 mmol) in dry DMF (5.0 mL) was added palladium(II) acetate (6.7 mg, 0.03 mmol). The reaction was heated to 80° C. for 2 h and then cooled to room temp. The reaction was quenched with water and extracted with EtOAc (3×5 mL). The organic layers were combined, dried over Na2SO4, and conc. in vacuo to a brown oil. The oil was dissolved in THF (5 mL) and acetic acid (0.05 mL) and treated with hydrogen peroxide (0.25 mL). The reaction was stirred for 15 min and then quenched with st. aq. NaHSO3. The reaction was extracted with EtOAc (3×5 mL). The organic layers were combined, dried over Na2SO4, and conc. in vacuo to a brown oil. The oil was purified by flash chromatography (silica gel, 0-70% EtOAc in hexanes) to give 347 mg of the desired product as a pale yellow solid. MS (ESI) 373 (M+H).
