Reaction Steps

A −78° C. solution of Example 68B (3.35 g, 15 mmol) diethyl ether (100 mL) was treated dropwise with 2.5 M n-butyllithium (7.2 mL, 18 mmol), stirred for 2 hours at −78° C., treated with tributyl borate (4.14 g, 18 mmol), stirred at −78° C. for one hour and warmed to room temperature over 2 hours. The solution was treated with pinacol (2.30 g, 19.5 mmol) and acetic acid (0.9 g, 15 mmol), stirred overnight, and filtered through diatomaceous earth (Celite®). The pad was washed with diethyl ether several times and the filtrate was concentrated to a volume of 50 mL. The mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate, washed with water and brine, dried (MgSO4), filtered, and concentrated under vacuum. The residue was purified by flash column chromatography on silica gel eluting with 25:1 hexanes/ethyl acetate to provide 2.34 g (70%) of the desired product. MS (DCI) m/e 224 (M+H)+; 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3,) δ 8.24 (d, J=5.1 Hz, 1H), 7.50 (dd, J=4.8, 2.7 Hz, 1H), 7.23 (d, J=2.4 Hz, 1H), 1.36 (s, 12H).
