Allyl acetate → HCID 18926421, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of allyl acetate (13.5 ml, 125 mmol) in THF (8 ml), was evacuated and purged with argon (3 times). Palladium acetate (122 mg, 0.50 mmol) and triphenylphosphine (525 mg, 2.0 mmol) were added as solutions in tetrahydrofuran (1.5 ml each), followed by 3-nitro-6-trifluoromethyl-2-pyridinone (2.6 g, 12.5 mmol) in THF (2 ml). The reaction was heated to reflux for 64 h, and more allyl acetate (13.5 ml, 125 mmol), triphenylphosphine (525 mg, 2.0 mmol), palladium acetate (122 mg, 0.5 mmol), and tetrahydrofuran (13 ml) were added. After a further 24 h and 48 h at reflux addditional allyl acetate (13.5 ml, 125 mmol), palladium acetate (122 mg, 0.5 mmol), and triphenylphosphine (525 mg, 2.0 mmol) were added and the reaction was heated to reflux for a further 24 h. The reaction was cooled and evaporated in vacuo to a gum which was purified by flash column chromatography on silica (15% ethyl acetate/hexane) to give the product contaminated with unreacted 3-nitro-6-trifluoromethyl-2-pyridinone. This material was diluted with ethyl acetate and washed with water adjusted to pH 12 with sodium carbonate, dried (Na2SO4), and evaporated in vacuo to give the title compound (1.05 g): 1H NMR (CDCl3) selected signals at δ 4.80 (d, J=5.8 Hz, 2H), 5.28-5.33 (m, 2H), 5.86-5.96 (m, 1H), 6.80 (d, J=7.9 Hz, 1H), 8.22 (d, J=7.9 Hz, 1H).
