Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

The reaction mixture of 2-bromo-6-methyl-4-nitrophenyl trifluoromethanesulfonate (65B) (10.1 g, 27.7 mmol), tributylvinyltin (8.18 ml, 27.7 mmol), LiCl (1.4 g, 33.2 mmol), PdCl2dppf (607 mg, 0.83 mmol) in DMF (50 ml) was reacted at 70° C. for 3 h. Then 2N NaOH was added and stirred at 70° C. for 5 min. The reaction mixture was cooled down, washed by sat. NaHCO3, extracted by EtOAc, dry over MgSO4, filtered, concentrated down and purified by silica gel column, eluting by 0-100% EtOAc in Hexanes to give 65C (1.9 g, 30%). 1H-NMR: 400 MHz, (CDCl3) δ: 8.30 (d, J=0.8 Hz, 1H), 8.03 (d, J=1 Hz, 1H), 6.71-6.64 (dd, J=18, 12 Hz, 1H), 5.77-5.74 (d, J=12 Hz, 1H), 5.51-5.46 (d, J=18 Hz, 1H), 2.48 (s, 3H).
