Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of diethyl [(3-bromophenyl)methyl]phosphonate (3.07 g, 10 mmol) in THF (20 mL) was added 8-methyl-8-azabicyclo[3.2.1]octan-3-one (1.67 g, 12 mmol) then KOBu-t (1.234 g, 11 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 5 h before it was quenched with NH4Cl (5 mL, saturated aqueous). The organic layer of the reaction mixture was separated and the aqueous layer was extracted with DCM (5 mL). The combined organic layers were loaded onto a Combiflash Redisep silica gel column (40 g) and purified by Combiflash chromatograph to afford 2.48 g (85%) of the title compound. LC-MS m/z 292 (M+H)+.
