Procedure

A solution of 2-chloro-4-iodo-3-methylbenzonitrile (983 mg), 5-ethyl-3,3-dimethylpyrrolidine-2,4-dione (550 mg), cesium carbonate (1.73 g), tris(dibenzylideneacetone)dipalladium(0) (325 mg) and 4,5-bis(diphenylphosphino)-9,9-dimethylxanthene (615 mg) in dioxane was reacted in a microwave reactor at 120° C. for 5 hr. Water was added to the reaction mixture, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with saturated brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography and recrystallized from THF/hexane to give the title compound as a colorless solid (yield: 294 mg, 27%).
