Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A vial was charged with (R)-2-amino-2′-bromo-5H-spiro[oxazole-4,9′-xanthen]-7′-ol (1.00 g, 2.88 mmol), cyclopropyl acetylene (0.732 mL, 8.64 mmol), copper(i) iodide (0.110 g, 0.576 mmol), and DIPA (14.40 mL). Tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) (0.333 g, 0.288 mmol) was added, the vial was flushed with argon, and the reaction was heated to 50° C. and stirred overnight. The reaction was diluted with ethyl acetate and filtered through Celite. The solution was concentrated and purified via column chromatography (RediSep 40 g, gradient elution 0-10% MeOH:DCM) to afford (S)-2-amino-2′-(cyclopropylethynyl)-5H-spiro[oxazole-4,9′-xanthen]-7′-ol as a tan solid.
