Allyl bromide → (3S)-1-allyl-3-(2-chloro-5-fluoropyrimidin-4-ylamino)cyclohexanol

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (3S)-3-[(2-chloro-5-fluoro-pyrimidin-4-yl)amino]cyclohexanone, 29b, (0.60 g, 2.46 mmol) and 3-bromoprop-1-ene (0.43 mL, 4.92 mmol) in DMF was added Zn dust (0.32 g, 4.92 mmol). The reaction was stirred at room temperature for 3 days. The mixture was diluted into aqueous saturated NH4Cl solution, extracted twice with EtOAc. The combined organic phases were washed twice with brine, dried (MgSO4), filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The crude residue was purified by silica gel chromatography using 0-50% EtOAc/hexanes gradient to afford 553 mg of desired product, 58a, as an oil. LC/MS two peaks corresponding to two diastereomeric products: 286.4 (M+H), RT=3.41 and 3.78.
