Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of methyl 4-bromo-2-hydroxybenzoate (3.0 g) in DMF (50.0 mL) were added tributylvinyltin (6.18 g), bis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(II) chloride (0.46 g) and lithium chloride (4.07 g), and the mixture was stirred at 90° C. for 2 hr under argon atmosphere. To the reaction mixture was added aqueous potassium fluoride solution, and the precipitated insoluble substance was removed by filtration through Celite. The filtrate was diluted with ethyl acetate, and the mixture was washed with water and saturated brine. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (ethyl acetate/hexane) to give the title compound. This compound was used in the next step without an additional purification.
