Reaction Steps

A mixture of 8 (40.0 mg, 0.11 mmol), 2-phenoxyphenylboronic acid (35.5 mg, 0.166 mmol), PdCl2(PPh3)2 (7.8 mg, 0.011 mmol), LiCl (14.0 mg, 0.33 mmol), 1M Na2CO3 (276 μL, 0.28 mmol) in EtOH (0.66 mL) and toluene (0.66 mL) was heated at 105° C. for 0.5 h in a sealed reaction tube. Reaction mixture was separated between ethyl acetate and brine. The aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate (2×). The combined organic solutions were concentrated and purified by PTLC using ethyl acetate:hexane (1:1) as eluent to give 9 as a white solid (13.8 mg, 40%); 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 12.80-12.60 (bs, NH), 8.69 (d, J=2.0 Hz, 1H), 8.34 (d, J=2.0 Hz, 1H), 7.87 (s, 1H), 7.53 (dd, J=7.6, 1.7 Hz, 1H), 7.40 (dt, J=7.5, 1.8 Hz, 1H), 7.29 (m, 3H), 7.06 (m, 2H), 6.94 (m, 2H); MS (CI) m/z 352.8 (MH+MeCN).
