Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 2-acetamido-N-tert-butyl-2-(2-(pyridin-2-yl)ethyl)hex-5-enamide (810 mg, 2.45 mmol) in dichloromethane (4 mL), was treated with chloro-1,5-cyclooctadiene iridium(I) dimer (35 mg, 2 mol %) and 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane (42 mg, 4 mol %). The solution was stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes and then 4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-[1,3,2]dioxaborolane (0.76 mL, 5.20 mmol) was added dropwise, and the reaction was then stirred overnight at room temperature. The reaction was poured into water and extracted with ethyl acetate (3×). The combined organic phase was washed with saturated aqueous sodium chloride, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated. Purification by flash column chromatography (silica gel, 0-10% methanol in dichloromethane) gave 2-acetamido-N-tert-butyl-2-(2-(pyridin-2-yl)ethyl)-6-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)hexanamide as a colorless oil (787 mg, 70%). ESI MS found for C25H42BN3O4 m/z [460.3 (M+1)].
