Triethylborane → 2-(2-Fluoro-5-nitrophenyl)-2-methylpent-4-enal

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of palladium acetate (0.1 eq), triphenylphosphine (0.2 eq), lithium chloride (1.0 eq) in THF were sequentially added 2-(2-fluoro-5-nitrophenyl) propanal (1.1 eq) in THF, allyl alcohol (1.0 eq), triethylamine (1.2 eq) and triethylborane (2.4 eq) under nitrogen at room temperature. Solution was allowed to stir for 2 h. Mixture was diluted with saturated solution of sodium bicarbonate, extracted with ethyl acetate. Organics were washed with brine, dried with sodium sulfate and concentrated. Crude product was purified using flash chromatography (85% Hex: 15% EtoAc) on silica to afford 2-(2-fluoro-5-nitrophenyl)-2-methylpent-4-enal.
