Pentane → 1-(tert-Butyl-dimethyl-silanyl)-5-tributylstannanyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred and cooled (−90° C.) solution of bromide 4 (206 mg, 0.66 mmol) in THF (2.5 mL) was added dropwise 1.5 M solution of tert-butyllithium in pentane (1 mL, 1.51 mmol). After 35 min additional stirring at −90° C., tri-n-butyltin iodide (0.23 mL, 0.79 mmol) was added in one portion. The mixture was stirred at −90° C. for 10 min, −78° C. for 40 min, and then allowed to warm to r.t. The mixture was partitioned between AcOEt-brine. The aqueous layer was extracted with AcOEt (3×) and the combined organic solutions were dried (MgSO4), and concentrated to afford the crude stannane 17, which was used in the next step without purification.
