Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

7.8 g (47.0 mmol) of 1-butyl-4-ethynylbenzene are initially introduced in 100 ml of THF under nitrogen, cooled to −78° C., and 63.32 ml (63.20 mmol) of a 1M solution of lithium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide in hexane are added dropwise. After 1 hour, 63.22 ml (63.20 mmol) of a 1M solution of 9-methoxy-9-BBN in hexane are added, and the mixture is left to stir at −78° C. for 2 hours. In a second apparatus, 6.8 g (23.45 mmol) of 5, 0.916 g (1.0 mmol) of tris(dibenzylideneacetone)dipalladium(0) and 1.64 g (4.0 mmol) of 2-dicyclohexylphosphino-2′,6′-dimethoxybiphenyl are initially introduced in 100 ml of THF. The first solution is slowly added dropwise, and the batch is heated at 100° C. overnight. 100 ml of water are added to the cooled solution, and the mixture is extracted twice with methyl t-butyl ether (100 ml). The combined organic phases are washed with water, dried over sodium sulfate and evaporated in vacuo. The residue is purified by column chromatography and recrystallised from isopropanol, giving the title compound 3 as a solid.
