Tributylstannane → tert-Butyl 5-(trifluoromethyl)spiro[indoline-3,3'-pyrrolidine]-1'-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

tert-Butyl 3-(((2-bromo-4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)amino)methyl)-2,5-dihydro-1H-pyrrole-1-carboxylate (6.46 g, 15.3 mmol) was dissolved in benzene (300 mL). Thereafter, tributyltin hydride (6.02 mL, 23.0 mmol) and azobisisobutyronitrile (380 mg, 2.31 mmol) were added to the above obtained solution at room temperature, and the thus obtained mixture was then stirred for 15 hours while heating under reflux. Thereafter, the reaction solution was concentrated in vacuo, and the obtained residue was then purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane:ethyl acetate=3:1) to obtain tert-butyl 5-(trifluoromethyl)spiro[indoline-3,3′-pyrrolidine]-1′-carboxylate (2.21 g, 42%) in the form of a colorless amorphous product.
