Reaction Steps

A Smith process vial was charged (S)-ethyl 2-(6-bromo-3-methyl-1-(trifluoromethylsulfonyloxy)naphthalen-2-yl)-2-tert-butoxyacetate (55 mg, 0.104 mmol), (1-Propynyl)tributylstannane (35 μL, 0.115 mmol), Chloro(2-dicyclohexylphosphino-2′,4′,6′-triisopropyl-1,1′-biphenyl)[2-(2-aminoethyl)phenyl)]palladium(II) (8 mg, 0.01 mmol), NaHCO3 (4 mg, 0.05 mmol), triethylamine (44 μL, 0.3 mmol) and flushed with nitrogen. DMF (2.0 mL) was added and mixture sparged with nitrogen for 10 minutes and then heated in microwave at 120° C. for 1 hour. The reaction mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate and washed with brine, dried (MgSO4), filtered, concentrated and purified by flash column chromatography (silica gel, 0 to 20% ethyl acetate/hexanes) to give (S)-ethyl 2-tert-butoxy-2-(3-methyl-6-(prop-1-ynyl)-1-(trifluoromethylsulfonyloxy)naphthalen-2-yl)acetate. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): δ 7.94 (d, J=4.4 Hz, 1H), 7.80 (s, 1H), 7.56 (s, 1H), 7.50 (d, J=4.6 Hz, 1H), 5.63 (s, 1H), 4.08 (m, 2H), 2.52 (s, 3H), 2.08 (s, 3H), 1.21 (s, 9H), 1.18 (t, 3H).
