Reaction Steps

To a stirring solution of 1-(2-fluoro-4-nitrophenyl)-4-[(trimethylsilyl)oxy]-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (Step 2, 100.0 g, 322 mmol) and allyl methyl carbonate (43.6 g, 386 mmol) in DMSO (625 ml) at ambient temperature is added Pd(OAc)2 (7.20 g, 32 mmol). The resulting solution is stirred under N2 at ambient temperature overnight. H2O (1 liter) is added and solvent allowed to cool to ambient temperature. The aqueous layer is extracted with EtOAc (2×800 ml), and the combined organic layers are washed with saline (800 ml) and dried over MgSO4. The solvent is removed and the residue recrystallized from EtOAc/MTBE to afford 53.6 g (70%) of the title compound as a yellow solid, 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ 2.71 (m, 2 H), 4.06 (m, 2 H), 5.41 (d, 1 H), 7.25 (m, 1 H), 7.35 (d, 1 H), 8.08 (m, 2H).
