Triethylamine → 2-tert-Butyldimethylsilyloxy-9H-fluoren-9-ylideneadamantane

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 2-tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy-9H-fluoren-9-one (0.689 g, 2.2 mmol) and adamantanone (0.66 g, 4.4 mmol) in 30 mL of dry THF was added dropwise over a period of 7 h to a refluxing mixture of TiCl3 (6.8 g, 44 mmol), LAH (0.8 g, 21 mmol) and triethylamine (3 mL) in 80 mL of dry THF. The reaction was refluxed for an additional 12 h. The alkene was then isolated and purified as described above for 1a to give 0.65 g (68%) of 3b: mp 102°-105° C.; 1H NMR (CDCl3) delta 7.832-6.785 (m, 7H), 4.038 (s, 1H), 3.972 (s, 1H), 2.095-1.990 (m, 12H), 1.006 (s, 9H), 0.225 (s, 6H); 13C NMR (CDCl3) delta 159.91, 155.06, 140.64, 139.89, 139.13, 33.61, 126.29, 125.65, 124.31, 119.87, 118.71, 118.43, 116.35, 39.49, 39.40, 36.90, 35.99, 35.90, 27.83, 25.81, 25.73, 18.35, -4.33. ##STR31##
