Reaction Steps

A solution of 2-[1-(tert-butyl-dimethyl-silanyloxy)-1-methyl-ethyl]-2-methyl-but-3-enoic acid (258 mg, 0.95 mmol), acetic acid (R)-1-(7-bromo-quinolin-2-yl)-ethyl ester (279 mg, 0.95 mmol), palladium(II) acetate (43 mg, 0.19 mmol), tris-(o-tolyl)phosphine (87 mg, 0.29 mmol) in anhydrous acetonitrile (3 mL) was treated with triethylamine (265 μL, 1.90 mmol). After stirring at 100° C. under microwave for 20 min, the reaction was cooled to room temperature and the volatiles were removed in vacuo. The residue was partitioned between dichloromethane and a saturated potassium hydrogen sulfate solution. The organics were combined and the volatiles were removed in vacuo. The residue was purified by silica gel chromatography using a 25 g Biotage cartridge eluted with a continuous gradient of iso-hexanes/ethyl acetate 1:0 to 0:1 to afford the title compound (300 mg, 65%) as a colourless oil. 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 0.20 (s, 3H), 0.22 (s, 3H), 0.94 (s, 9H), 1.44 (s, 3H), 1.45 (s, 3H), 1.50 (s, 3H), 1.68 (d, J=6.7 Hz, 3H), 2.17 (s, 3H), 6.06 (q, J=6.7 Hz, 1H), 6.76 (m, 2H), 7.43 (d, J=8.5 Hz, 1H), 7.62 (d, J=8.5 Hz, 1H), 7.74 (d, J=8.7 Hz, 1H), 8.03 (s, 1H), 8.11 (d, J=8.5 Hz, 1H). LCMS (m/z) 486.3 [M+H], Tr=3.64 min.
