Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Nitrogen was passed through a solution of 2-(4-trifluoromethylsulfonyloxynaphthyl) dioxolane (2.46 g, 7.06 mmol), ethyl acrylate (2.3 mL, 2.1 g, 21.2 mmol), triethylamine (4.3 g, 42.3 mmol) in DMF (6 mL) for 15 min, and bis(triphenylphosphine)palladium dichloride was added. The well stirred solution was heated at 90° C. for 8 hr, and concentrated. The residue was dissolved in ethyl acetate (50 mL), washed with brine (2×50 mL), dried (Na2SO4), and concentrated. Purification by flash chromatography using hexane/ethyl acetate 9:1 as eluent provided a yellow solid (1.13 g, 53%).
