that order. The chamber was sealed with a screwcap fitted
with a Teflonꢁ seal.
Chamber B (1.5 equiv. CO): In an argon-filled glovebox,
to chamber B of the two-chamber system was added
HBF4P(t-Bu)3 (2.2 mg, 0.0075 mmol), Pd(cod)Cl2 (2.1 mg,
0.0075 mmol),
9-methylfluorene-9-carbonyl
chloride
(COgen) (182 mg, 0.75 mmol), dioxane (3.0 mL) and
Cy2NMe (320 mL, 1.5 mmol) in that order. The chamber was
sealed with a screwcap fitted with a Teflonꢁ seal.
The loaded two-chamber system was removed from the
glovebox and heated to 808C for 18 h. The reaction was
quenched with 2M HCl (1 mL) and stirred for 1 hour at
808C. The two phases were separated and the water phase
was extracted three times with CH2Cl2. The combined or-
ganic phases were dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, filtered
and concentrated under vacuum. The crude residue was pu-
rified by flash chromatography using pentane/EtOAc (3:1)
as eluent which resulted in 1 obtained as mixture between
the keto- and the enol form as a colorless oil; yield:106.0 mg
