Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of NaH (6.98 g, 173 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (460 mL) at 0° C. was added dropwise a solution of diethyl cyanomethylphosphonate (18.5 mL, 103.8 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (80 mL). The reaction was refluxed for 1 hour and then cooled at 0° C. again. To the reaction mixture was added a solution of compound 86a (26.0 g, 75 mol) in tetrahydrofuran (80 mL). The reaction was allowed to warm up to room temperature and stirred 2 hours. The reaction mixture was then quenched with saturated aqueous solution of NaHCO3, and most of the THF was removed under reduced pressure. Ethyl acetate (200 mL) was added, washed with water, brine, dried over Na2SO4 and evaporated to dryness. The residue was purified on silica gel, eluting with 0 to 20% EtOAc in hexanes, to give the desired product (2E)-2-[8-benzyl-6-[tert-butyl(dimethyl)silyl]oxy-8-azabicyclo[3.2.1]octan-3-ylidene]acetonitrile 86b (27 g, 98%). MS: calc'd (MH+) 369, measured (MH+) 369.
