Reaction Steps

A solution of 4-(4-bromo-4′-chlorobiphenyl-3-yl)-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpyran-3,5-dione (0.314 g, 0.72 mmol), vinylboronic anhydride pyridine complex (0.175 g, 0.73 mmol), lithium hydroxide monohydrate (0.177 g, 4.22 mmol), 1,3-bis(diphenylphosphino)propane (0.015 g, 0.036 mmol) and palladium acetate (0.010 g, 0.044 mmol) is stirred in a mixed solvent system of 1,2-dimethoxyethane (5 ml) and distilled water (1 ml) at 80° C. for 3 hours. After cooling to room temperature the mixture is filtered through diatomaceous earth, followed by washing with ethyl acetate and distilled water. The aqueous phase is acidified with 2M aqueous hydrochloric acid to pH3, then the organic phase is separated and the aqueous phase extracted again with ethyl acetate. All organic fractions are combined, then dried over anhydrous magnesium sulphate and filtered. After concentration in vacuo the crude oil is purified by preparative reverse phase HPLC then triturated with hexanes to afford 4-(4′-chloro-4-vinylbiphenyl-3-yl)-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpyran-3,5-dione (0.038 g) as a white solid.
