Ethyl Acetate → (S,E)-(2-((tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy)methyl)-4-(prop-1-enyl)-2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrrol-1-yl)(5-methoxy-2-nitro-4-(triisopropylsilyloxy)phenyl)methanone

Reaction Steps

Tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) (0.41 g, 0.35 mmol, 0.03 eq) was added to a mixture of the triflate 5 (8.4 g, 11.8 mmol, 1.0 eq), E-1-propene-1-ylboronic acid (1.42 g, 16.5 mmol, 1.4 eq) and potassium phosphate (5.0 g, 23.6 mmol, 2.0 eq) in dry dioxane (60 mL) under a nitrogen atmosphere. The mixture was stirred at 25° C. for 120 mins when LC/MS indicated complete reaction. Ethyl acetate (120 mL) and water (120 mL) were added, the organic phase was removed, washed with brine (20 mL), dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by flash chromatography (silica gel, 95/5 v/v n-hexane/EtOAc to 90/10 v/v n-hexane/EtOAc) to afford the product as a yellow foam (4.96 g, 70%). LC/MS (4.477 min (ES+)), m/z: 605.0 [M+H]+. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.67 (s, 1H), 6.74 (s, 1H), 5.93 (d, 1H, J=15.4 Hz), 5.67 (s, 1H), 4.65 (m, 1H), 4.04 (m, 2H), 3.86 (s, 3H), 2.85 (m, 1H), 2.71 (m, 1H), 1.72 (dd, 3H, J=6.8, 1.0 Hz), 1.30-1.22 (m, 3H), 1.07 (d, 18H, J=7.2 Hz), 0.87 (s, 9H), 0.08 (s, 3H), 0.07 (s, 3H).
