Reaction Steps

(1S)-1-(2-chloro-5-iodophenyl)ethane-1,2-diol (2.60 g, 8.71 mmol), propionitrile (87 mL), ethyl acrylate (1.24 mL, 11.32 mmol), and triethylamine (3.6 mL, 26.13 mmol) were combined and N2 was flushed through the solution for 10 minutes. Then Pd(OAc)2 (587 mg, 0.871 mmol) and P(O-tol)3 (1.06 g, 3.48 mmol) were added and the solution was heated to 80° C. After 16 h, the solution was cooled to rt and then EtOAc was added. The solution was washed with 1N HCl (2×), brine, dried, concentrated, and purified by Biotage chromatography (0%-100% EtOAc/hexanes) to afford 1.90 g of product as an oil (81%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, chloroform-d) δ ppm 7.79 (d, J=1.77 Hz, 1 H) 7.65 (d, J=16.17 Hz, 1 H) 7.34-7.40 (m, 2 H) 6.45 (d, J=15.92 Hz, 1 H) 5.24 (ddd, J=7.39, 2.84, 2.65 Hz, 1 H) 4.27 (q, J=7.24 Hz, 2 H) 3.89-3.97 (m, 1 H) 3.57 (ddd, J=11.49, 7.45, 4.55 Hz, 1 H) 2.87 (d, J=3.28 Hz, 1 H) 2.18 (t, J=5.81 Hz, 1 H) 2.05 (s, 3 H) 1.34 (t, J=7.20 Hz, 2 H).
