Acetic acid, 2-(triphenylphosphoranylidene)-, ethyl ester → (R,E)-ethyl 4-((2-chloro-5-fluoropyrimidin-4-yl)amino)-5,5-dimethylhex-2-enoate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (S)-2-((2-chloro-5-fluoropyrimidin-4-yl)amino)-3,3-dimethylbutanal, 15a, (0.45 g, 1.84 mmol) in dichloromethane (9.0 mL) was added ethyl 2-triphenylphosphoranylideneacetate (0.96 g, 2.75 mmol). After allowing the reaction mixture to stir at room temperature overnight, approximately half of the solvent was removed under reduced pressure. The remaining crude mixture was purified by directly loading onto a silica gel column (0-100% EtOAc/hexanes) to afford 535 mg of the desired product: LCMS Gradient 10-90%, 0.1% formic acid, 5 minutes, C18/ACN, RT=3.41 minutes (M+H) 316.32.
