Reaction Steps

A solution of dibromide 3 (52 mg, 0.074 mmol) and 2-tert-butyl-1,1,3,3-tetramethylguanidine (BTMG, 0.8 mL) in 1,2-dichloroethane (2 mL) was stirred at room temperature. After 3 days, 1 M HCl was added and the mixture was extracted with CH2Cl2 (3×25 mL). The combined dichloromethane solution was dried (Na2SO4), filtered and evaporated. Purification by flash chromatography (0%→20% ethyl acetate/hexanes) gave compound 5a contaminated with 15% of the alkene regioisomer 5b as an inseparable mixture (45 mg, 97%).
