Reaction Steps

A solution of but-3-enyl-carbamic acid benzyl ester (3.06 g, 14.0 mmol, 1 eq) in anhydrous toluene (40 mL) was cooled under argon to 0-5° C. 9-BBN (0.50 M, solution in THF; 30.8 mL, 1504 mmol, 1.1 eq.) was added dropwise, the mixture was stirred and allowed to reach room temperature. After 24 h, 1N NaOH/H2O (23.8 mL, 23.8 mmol, 1.7 eq.) was added, followed by 2-bromo-4-trifluoromethyl-pyridine (3.16 g, 14.0 mmol, 1 eq.) and toluene (25 mL). The resulting mixture was degassed and Pd(PPh3)4 (0.89 g, 0.70 mmol, 0.05 eq.) was added. The mixture was rapidly stirred under argon at 60° C. for 24 h, and then it was cooled to room temperature. Afterwards, the mixture was partitioned between EtOAc (100 mL) and brine (100 mL). The organic phase was washed with brine (100 mL), dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated. The crude product was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel (0-50% EtOAc in Heptane) to afford 2 as colorless oil (5.1 g, 99%).
