Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of tert-butyl 4-(adamantan-1-ylmethoxy)-5-chloro-2-fluorobenzoate (2.00 g, 5.06 mmol), vinylboronic acid pinacol ester (1.56 g, 10.1 mmol) and sodium carbonate (1.61 g, 15.2 mmol) in dioxane (20 mL) and water (5 mL) was bubbled with a nitrogen atmosphere for 10 min, tributylphosphine tetrafluoroborate (0.15 g, 0.51 mmol), tris(dibenzylideneacetone)dipalladium(0) (0.023 g, 0.025 mmol) was added to this reaction mixture. The reaction mixture was heated to 100° C. for 24 h and then cooled to ambient temperature. Water (50 mL) was added and the mixture extracted with ethyl acetate (100 mL×3), the combined organics were washed with brine; dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified over column chromatography, eluting with 30% dichloromethane in hexanes to give the crude product, which was used for next step without further purification: MS (ES+) m/z 398.3 (M+1).
