Representative
experimental procedure. To a solution of tetramethylpiperidine
(326 mg, 0.392 mL, 2.3 mmol) in THF (5 mL) at 0 ˚C
was added n-BuLi (2.5 M in
hexane, 0.843 mL, 2.1 mmol). After stirring for 20 min, the flask
was cooled to -78 ˚C and opened quickly,
solid 4,6-dibromo-resorcinol dimethyl ether (1;
297 mg, 1.0 mmol) was added all at once, and the flask was immediately
sealed. Compound 1 dissolved to give a
homogeneous mixture, which became a white slurry about 30 min after
the addition. After stirring at -78 ˚C
for a total time of 3 h, a solution of allyl bromide (607 mg, 0.424
mL, 5.0 mmol) in THF (1 mL) was added over 1 min. The resulting
mixture was stirred at -78 ˚C for 30
min, and then the ice bath was removed. After warming to r.t., the
reaction mixture was poured into saturated NH4Cl solution
and the aqueous layer was extracted twice with diethyl ether. The
combined organic layers were washed with brine, dried over MgSO4 and
filtered. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo and the residue
was purified by silica gel column chromatography (EtOAc-hexane,
1:99) to give 3 (329 mg, 98%)
as a white solid.
