Diiodomethane → HCID 66849204, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Trifluoroacetic acid (TFA; 281 mg, 2.47 mmol) was added to a solution of diethyl zinc (ZnEt2, 2.5 mL, 2.5M in hexane) in DCE (1 mL) at 0° C. and stirred for 35 mins. Diiodomethane (CH2I2, 66 mg, 2.5 mmol) was then added at 0° C., and the mixture stirred for an additional 20 min. A solution of (R)-5-(2-iodoallyl)-2,2,3,3,8,8,9,9-octamethyl-4,7-dioxa-3,8-disiladecane (step D; 188 mg, 0.41 mmol) in DCE (2 ml) was added and the reaction stirred at room temperature overnight. The reaction was then quenched by addition of a mixture of methanol (5 mL) and brine (0.5 mL). After stirring for an additional hour, the mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude material was extracted with aq.NH4Cl/CHCl3 and the organic layer washed with brine, dried (MgSO4) and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude material was triturated in hexane and the solution filtered and evaporated to afford (R)-5-((1-iodocyclopropyl)methyl)-2,2,3,3,8,8,9,9-octamethyl-4,7-dioxa-3,8-disiladecane (148 mg, 77%).
