Reaction Steps

Intermediate (16a) (9.5 g, 18.9 mmol), tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) (1.0 g, 0.9 mmol), (2-ethenyl)tri-n-butyltin (11.0 mL, 37.8 mmol) were dissolved in DMF (70 mL, 900 mmol), and heated at 90° C. for 1.5 hours. The mixture was cooled to room temperature and 300 mL of EtOAc was added. The organic layer was washed using a 20% potassium fluoride solution (2×100 mL) and saturated aqueous NaCl. The resulting material was purified by silica gel chromatography (0-60% EtOAc:hexanes) to yield intermediate (16b) (7.7 g). MS m/z: [M+H+] calcd for C26H27FN2O4, 451.2; found 451.0. 1H-NMR (CDCl3): 8.17 (1H, s), 7.79 (1H, d), 7.48 (1H, t), 7.40 (1H, t), 7.28 (1H, s), 7.01(2H, m), 6.86 (1H, t), 6.67 (1H, m), 5.95 (1H, d), 5.41 (2H, s), 5.27 (1H, d), 4.48 (2H, q), 1.38 (3H, t), 1.25 (9H, s).
