Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

The triphenylstannane derivative was prepared using a modified procedure of Brisdon (Chem. Commun. 2002, 2420-2421). Accordingly, 1,1,1,3,3-pentafluoropropane (2.0 g, 14.9 mmol) was condensed into a 500 mL three neck round bottom flask containing ether (20 mL) cooled to −15° C. The mixture was maintained below −10° C. while n-BuLi (2.5 M in hexanes, 16.08 mL, 40.2 mmol) was added. After the reaction was stirred for 10 minutes at −10° C., triphenyl tin chloride (5 g, 13.4 mmol) was added as a solution in ether, maintaining −10° C. The mixture was slowly warmed to room temperature and allowed to stir for an additional 4 hours. An excess of hexanes (300 mL) was added and then the settled mixture was filtered through Celite®. Concentration of the filtered solution in vacuo afforded a pale yellow solid which was purified by column chromatography (SiO2: ether/hexanes, 1:10) affording 5.2 g (78%) of the triphenylstannane derivative as an off white solid.
