Procedure

To a solution of 5-iodo-1,2,3-trimethoxybenzene (900 mg, 3.06 mmol) and 2,3-dihydrofuran (1.16 mL, 15.3 mmol) in dry DMF (8 mL) were added PPh3 (20 mg, 0.077 mmol), KOAc (901 mg, 9.18 mmol), n-Bu4NCl (850 mg, 3.06 mmol) and Pd(OAc)2 (17 mg, 0.077 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred 18 h at 80° C. The reaction mixture was diluted with AcOEt and water. After separation, the organic layer was washed with brine, dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated. The crude residue was then purified by flash chromatography on silica gel (AcOEt/Hexane: 20/80) to afford the title compound 287 (311 mg, 1.32 mmol, 43% yield). 1H NMR: (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ (ppm): 6.59 (s, 2H), 6.45 (m, 1H), 5.45 (dd, J=10.5, 8.4 Hz, 1H),4.97 (m, 1H), 3.87 (s, 6H), 3.84 (s, 3H), 3.06 (m, 1H), 2.62 (m, 1H).
