Reaction Steps

To a 20 mL microwave tube containing a stir bar were added 4,6-dimethyl-5-oxiran-2-yl-2-benzofuran-1(3H)-one (from the synthesis of INTERMEDIATE 9, 1.0 g, 4.2 mmol), tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium (0) (0.240 g, 0.207 mmol), and tributyl(1-ethoxy-vinyl)tin (2.20 g, 6.22 mmol); to the mixture was added anhydrous toluene (18 mL) and the tube was capped, degassed and purged with N2. The tube was then placed in an oil bath and heated at 110° C. for 12 h; LC indicated some product formation. The tube was taken out of the oil bath and cooled to room temperature. The solution was concentrated to dryness under reduced pressure and the resulting residue was then treated with 4M HCl (10 mL); the resulting solution was stirred at room temperature for 1 h; LC analysis indicated completion of the reaction. The solution was concentrated to dryness and the residue was re-dissolved in DCM, was absorbed in silica gel and was then loaded into silica column for separation with the solvent systems of Hexanes/EtOAc (1/1); this yielded 5-acetyl-4,6-dimethyl-2-benzofuran-1(3H)-one.
