Procedure

To a mixture of 2-methoxy-5-methylphenylboronic acid (1 g, 6.02 mmol), trifluoromethanesulfonic acid 3,3,5,5-tetramethylcyclohex-1-enyl ester (1.9 g, 6.62 mmol) produced in Example (4a) and 1,2-dimethoxyethane (30 mL) were added tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) (0.35 g, 0.30 mmol) and 2N aqueous solution of sodium carbonate (9.0 mL, 18.0 mmol), followed by stirring for 3 hours at an external temperature of 90° C. under a nitrogen atmosphere. Brine was added to the reaction mixture and extraction was performed with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and filtrated, the resultant filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to give a residue, which was purified by silica gel column chromatography (ethyl acetate/heptane) to give 1.0 g of the title compound as a light yellow oil.
