Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

14.91 mmol of 1,4-benzodioxine are dissolved in 18 ml of anhydrous tetrahydrofuran under an anhydrous atmosphere, and the temperature of the solution is lowered to −78° C. 23.86 mmol of a 1.5M solution of n-butyllithium in hexane are added dropwise to the reaction mixture, which is stirred at −78° C. for 2 hours 15 minutes. 37.28 mmol of trimethyltin chloride dissolved in 10 ml of anhydrous tetrahydrofuran are added dropwise and the reaction mixture is stirred at −78° C. for 45 minutes and then returned to ambient temperature for 15 hours. The reaction mixture is hydrolysed with 15% aqueous potassium fluoride solution and is stirred for 45 minutes. The precipitated tin salts are removed by filtration, and the aqueous phase is extracted 3 times with ethyl acetate. The organic phases are combined and concentrated. Purification by flash chromatography over silica gel (petroleum ether/ethyl acetate: 95/5) allows the expected product to be obtained.
