Styrene → HCID 15867808, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Styrene (150 μl, 1.0 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (3 mL) was ice-cooled, then 9-BBN, (0.5M THF solution, 2.1 mL, 1.05 mmol) was added. This was agitated for 6 hours while gradually raising the reaction temperature to room temperature. Further, to this were added methyl (11R,12S,13E,15S,17R)-9-trifluoromethanesulfonyloxy-11,15-bis(tert-butyldimethylsiloxy)-17,20-dimethyl-7-thiaprosta-8,13-dienoate (233 mg, 0.3 mmol), bistriphenylphosphinepalladiumchloride (70 mg, 0.1 mmol), and tripotassium phosphate (255 mg, 1.2 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (5 mL) suspension. The reaction mixture was agitated at 60° C. for 15 hours. The reaction solution was cooled, then subjected to Florisil column chromotography to remove the metal complexes. The obtained solution was concentrated under reduced pressure, then was purified by silica gel column chromotography (2 to 4% ethyl acetate/hexane) to obtain methyl (11R,12S,13E,15S,17R)-9-phenethyl-11,15-bis(tert-butyldimethylsiloxy)-17,20-dimethyl-7-thiaprosta-8,13-dienoate (104 mg, 48%).
