Sodium Iodide → HCID 58760742, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of the ketone from Step 4 (0.4 g, 1.43 mmol), methyl bromoacetate (0.7 mL, 7.1 mmol), and Zn/Cu couple (0.46 g, 7.1 mmol) in THF (6 mL) was suspended in an ultrasound bath for 45 minutes. Saturated NH4Cl solution and EtOAc were then added, and the suspension was filtered through abed of Celite. The organic phase was washed with H2O and brine, dried (MgSO4), filtered and evaporated. The crude material was purified by flash chromatography (1:1 EtOAc/hexane) and the resulting intermediate was dissolved in CH3CN (10 mL). This solution was then added to a stirring mixture of TMSCl (0.8 mL, 6.4 mmol) and NaI (0.95 g, 6.4 mmol) in CH3CN (4 mL) in a RT H2O bath. Saturated NaHCO3 solution and sodium sulfite were added, and the product was extracted with EtOAc. The organic layer was washed with H2O and brine, dried (MgSO4), filtered, and evaporated to give a pale yellow solid (0.40 g).
