“…1 5) and H 2 C(6)), 1.03 (s, 9H, 3 × H 3 C−C−Si), 0.96 (t, 3 J = 6.9 Hz, 3H, H 3 C( 7)), 0.15 (s, 3H, H 3 C−Si), 0.08 (s, 3H, H 3 C−Si). 13 The reaction was performed following general procedure A with 1a (355 mg, 1.69 mmol, 1 equiv), PdCl 2 (15 mg, 0.08 mmol, 0.05 equiv), CuI (48 mg, 0.25 mmol, 0.15 equiv), PPh 3 (89 mg, 0.34 mmol, 0.2 equiv), piperidine (430 mg, 0.50 mL, 5.07 mmol, 3 equiv), and methyl p-bromobenzoate (545 mg, 2.54 mmol, 1.5 equiv). The crude product was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel (hexanes/DCM, 0 → 30% DCM) and then on C18 silica gel (methanol/0.15 M ammonium formate, 80 → 100% MeOH) to give the product 4ga (401 mg, 69% yield) as a pale yellow oil.…”
