Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Tetrakistriphenylphosphine palladium (0) (4.66 g) and cesium fluoride (21.4 g) were added to a solution of 1-bromo-3,4,5-trifluorobenzene (8.5 g) and trans-1-propen-1-ylboronic acid (4.1 g) in dioxane (95 ml) and water (5 ml) in a nitrogen atmosphere, and the reaction solution was stirred at 80° C. for five hours. The reaction solution was returned to room temperature. Then, hexane and water were added to the reaction solution, and the insoluble matter was removed by filtration. The organic layer was separated and then washed with water, and the insoluble matter was removed by filtration again. The organic layer was separated and then sequentially washed with water and brine. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and then the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The resulting crude product was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane) to obtain 5.83 g of the title compound.
