Tributylstannane → HCID 71237312, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-((1R,2S,3S)-2-bromo-3-hydroxycycloheptyl)isoindoline-1,3-dione (4.2 g, 12.42 mmol) in toluene (69 mL) and methanol (6.9 mL) was added tributyltin hydride (4.34 mL, 16.14 mmol) via syringe over 10 minutes under nitrogen followed by 2,2′-azobis(2-methylpropanenitrile) (0.204 g, 1.242 mmol) in one portion. The reaction was then heated to reflux overnight under a nitrogen atmosphere. The reaction mixture was concentrated to dryness under reduced pressure to afford a residue that was purified by silica gel chromatography (0-50% ethyl acetate in hexanes). Fractions containing the desired product were concentrated under reduced pressure to afford the title compound (2.6 g, 10.03 mmol, 81% yield) as a solid. 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ ppm 7.72-7.98 (m, 4H), 4.58 (d, J=4.29 Hz, 1H), 4.14 (br. s., 1H), 3.67 (dt, J=6.25, 3.90 Hz, 1H), 2.24-2.40 (m, 1H), 2.04-2.19 (m, 1H), 1.81-1.95 (m, 2H), 1.39-1.80 (m, 6H). MS (ESI) m/z 259.9 [M+H]+.
