Participants

Reaction Steps

CBr4 (531 mg, 1.6 mmol) was added to a solution of the product of Step B (242 mg, 1 mmol) in THF (3 mL). Then a solution of triphenylphosphine in THF (1 mL) was added dropwise and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3 hours. The mixture was loaded onto a silica gel column. Elution with (EtOAc:PE=1:3) to afford the title compound (160 mg, 52%) as a white solid. 1H-NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 8.38-8.35 (m, 1H), 7.09 (s, 1H), 6.90-6.86 (m, 1H), 4.61 (s, 2H), 1.54 (s, 9H) ppm MS: M/e 305 (M+1)+.
