Trimethyl(3,4-methylenedioxy-6-nitrophenyl)stannane → 7-(4,5-Methylenedioxy-2-nitrophenyl)-2-methoxynaphthalene

Participants

Reaction Steps

Tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium (0) (120 mg) and cuprous bromide (20 mg) were added to a solution of 7-Methoxy-2-trifluoromethanesulfonyloxynaphthalene 47 (336 mg, 1.1 mmol) and trimethylnitroarylstannane 62 (300 mg, 0.92 mmol) in THF (30 mL) at room temperature and stirred for 0.5 h. The mixture was then refluxed under N2 overnight. After cooling, THF was evaporated in vacuo and ethyl acetate (30 mL) was added to the residue. The solution was washed with water. The organic layer was separated and passed through a Celite bed to remove suspended particles. The organic layer was then washed with brine, dried (anhydrous Na2SO4), and evaporated in vacuo. The residue was chromatographed using a 80:20 mixture of hexanes:ethyl acetate to give 48 (100 mg) in 34% yield; IR (KBr) 2915, 1627, 1509, 1481, 1425, 1333, 1262, 1218 cm−1; 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ3.92 (3H, s), 6.15 (2H, s), 6.88 (1H, s), 7.13-7.23 (3H, m), 7.48 (1H, s), 7.64 (1H, s), 7.74-7.81 (2H, m); 13C NMR δ55.81, 103.47, 105.90, 106.46, 111.60, 119.84, 124.13, 126.07, 128.50, 128.72, 129.75, 133.89, 134.97, 136.60, 143.42, 147.63, 151.45, 158.61; HRMS (EI) calcd for C18H13NO5 m/z: 323.0794; found: 323.0787.
