Acetonitrile → tert-Butyl {2-(4-cyanophenyl)-4-[(triisopropylsilyl)oxy]butyl}methylcarbamate

Participants

Reaction Steps

tert-Butyl {2-(4-bromophenyl)-4-[(triisopropylsilyl)oxy]butyl}methylcarbamate (1.16 g, 2.25 mmol), tris(dibenzylideneacetone)dipalladium (0) (0.62 g, 0.68 mmol) and tri-o-tolylphosphine (1.03 g, 3.38 mmol) were mixed together with acetonitrile (3 mL) and DMF (3 mL) under argon. Zinc cyanide (0.16 g, 1.35 mmol) was added and the mixture was stirred at 81° C. for 24h and then concentrated. Ethyl acetate was added to the residue and the slurry was filtered through a micro filter. The solvent was removed by evaporation and the residue purified by flash chromatography (hexane-ether, 10:1). There was obtained 0.43 g, (41%) of tert-butyl {2-(4-cyanophenyl)-4-[(triisopropylsilyl)oxy]butyl}-methylcarbamate as a solid. 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3): 0.9-1.1 (m, 21H), 1.4 (s, 9H), 1.7-1.9 (m, 2H), 2.7 (m, 3H), 3.2-3.6 (m, 5H), 7.3-7.4 (m, 2H), 7.5-7.6 (m, 2H); MS: m/z 361 (M+1)+.
