Reaction Steps

The product from Example 71D (11.6 g, 37.77 mmol) in acetonitrile (50 mL) was treated sequentially with a 0.12M solution of the product from Example 68B (378 mL, 45.33 mmol), Pd(OAc)2 (0.254 g, 1.13 mmol), tris(4-methylphenyl)phosphine (0.518 g, 1.699 mmol), and diisopropyl amine (39.7 mL, 283.3 mmol). After stirring at 25° C. for 10 minutes, the mixture was treated with copper iodide (2.158 g, 11.33 mmol) and heated at 50° C. in an inert atmosphere for 18 hours. The reaction mixture was allowed to cool to room temperature, filtered through celite, and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified on silica gel using 95% DCM, 9.9% MeOH, 0.1% NH4OH to provide the title compound (1.22 g, 10.2% yield). 1HNMR (300 MHz, CD3OD) δ 1.18 (d, 3H, J=6.1 Hz), 1.47 (m, 1H), 1.78 (m, 2H), 1.91-2.34 (m, 2H), 2.50 (m, 2H) 3.06 (m, 2H), 3.26 (m, 2H), 3.38 (s, 3H), 3.59 (s, 3H), 6.63 (s, 1H), 7.51 (q, 2H), 7.84 (1H); MS (ESI) m/z 317.2 (M+H)+.
