Reaction Steps

Dichlorobis(tri-o-tolylphosphine)palladium (II) (0.63 g, 0.79 mmol) was added into a mixture of 7-bromo-5-{[tert-butyl(dimethyl)silyl]oxy}-2-(4-{[tert-butyl(dimethyl)silyl]oxy}-3-fluorophenyl)-1,3-benzoxazole (14.7 g, 26.6 mmol), tributyl(vinyl)tin (10.5 g, 33.25 mmol) and p-xylene (85 mL). The reaction mixture was stirred at 90° C. for 24 h, cooled to room temperature, diluted with ethyl ether (100 mL) and treated with activated carbon. The mixture was filtered through MgSO4 and concentrated. Purification by flash chromatography (hexanes/EtOAc 50/1) gave a white solid (11.8 g, 89% yield, m.p. 93-95° C.); MS m/e 500 (M+H)+.
