Reaction Steps

A solution of (S)-ethyl 2-tert-butoxy-2-(6-chloro-3-methyl-1-(trifluoromethylsulfonyloxy)naphthalen-2-yl)acetate (1.0 g, 2.1 mmol) in DMF (10 mL) at room temperature is treated with BrettPhos precatalyst (Strem, 0.23 g, 0.31 mmol), vinyl tributyltin (0.68 mL, 2.3 mmol) and solid NaHCO3 (0.026 g, 0.31 mmol). The reaction mixture is sealed and sparged with Ar for 10 minutes prior to heating at 120° C. for 90 minutes. The reaction mixture is allowed to cool to room temperature, loaded directly onto silica gel and purified via Yamazen column chromatography to afford (S)-ethyl 2-tert-butoxy-2-(3-methyl-1-(trifluoromethylsulfonyloxy)-6-vinylnaphthalen-2-yl)acetate. 1H-NMR: 400 MHz, (CDCl3) δ: 8.00 (d, J=8.8 Hz, 1H); 7.72 (d, J=8.8 Hz, 1H); 7.70 (s, 1H); 7.64 (s, 1H); 6.87 (dd, J=17.2, 11.2 Hz, 1H); 5.92 (d, J=17.2 Hz, 1H); 5.41 (d, J=11.2 Hz, 1H); 4.27-4.08 (m, 2H); 2.55 (s, 3H); 1.22 (s, 9H); 1.18 (t, J=7.2 Hz, 3H).
