Procedure

To a solution of 2-bromo-1,3-dimethylbenzene (500 mg), pyrrolidine-3-yl methanol hydrochloride (409 mg), bis(dibenzylideneacetone) palladium (155 mg), and 2-dicyclohexylphosphino-2′,6′-dimethoxybiphenyl (SPhos; 222 mg) in tetrahydrofuran (5 mL), molecular sieves 4A (powder; 410 mg) were added. To the mixed solution, a solution (8.9 mL) of 1.0 M lithium hexamethyldisilazide in tetrahydrofuran was added, and the resultant reaction mixture was heated and refluxed for 2.5 hours. To the reaction solution, saturated sodium bicarbonate water and ethyl acetate were added, and the resultant reaction mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic phase was washed with a saturated saline and was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. From the organic phase, the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure, followed by purifying the resultant residue by silica gel column chromatography (eluate; n-hexane:ethyl acetate=100:0 to 75:25), and from the resultant, the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure to obtain the subject compound (154 mg) as a yellow oily substance.
