Boron trifluoride etherate → HCID 13866540, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To 1.0 g (3.3 mmol) dimethyl 2,6-dimethyl-4-phenyl-1,4-dihydropyridine-3,5-dicarboxylate (1) [B. Loev. et al., J. Med. Chem., 17, 956 (1974)] in 50 ml chloroform cooled in an ice-bath to 0°-5° there was added 7.5 g (66 mmol) commercially obtained allyltrimethylsilane (2) followed by 1.41 g (10 mmol) boron trifluoride etherate added dropwise via syringe. The reaction mixture was then stirred for 4 hours at 0°-10° and quenched by addition of saturated aqueous NaHCO3 solution. After the addition of 50 ml Et2O, the organic phase was separated, washed with brine and dried. Solvent removal left an oil that was purified by column chromatograhy on silica gel eluting with 7% isopropanol/hexane to give pure 3 as of oil, which crystallized after standing, mp. 152°-155°, formula: C23H33NO4Si; m.w., 415.606. mmr (CDCl3) δ 0.78(9H, s), 0.27(1H, dd), 0.47(1H, dd), 0.83(1H, dd), 1.57(3H, s), 2.46(1H, dd), 2.55(3H, s), 2.60(1H, dd), 2.76(1H, m), 3.58(3H, s), 3.74(1H, d), 3.79(3H, s), 7.16(2H, dd), 7.30(3H, m).
