Reaction Steps

To a solution of methyl 5-(3,4,5,6-tetramethoxy-2-methylbenzyl)-2-(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)oxybenzoate (411 mg, 0.8090 mmol) in toluene (12 ml) were added tetrakistriphenylphosphine palladium (60 mg, 0.0519 mmol), aqueous solution of sodium carbonate (2M aqueous solution, 1.35 ml), lithium chloride (89 mg, 2.0995 mmol) and ethanolic solution (2.0 ml) of 4-methoxybenzene boronic acid (369 mg, 2.4282 mmol) and the mixture was heated with stirring at 95° C. for 16 hours. The reaction solution was diluted with ethyl acetate (100 ml), washed with water and dried and the solvent was evaporated therefrom. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane:ethyl acetate=5:1) to give the title compound (351 mg, 0.7532 mmol, 93%).
