Reaction Steps

To a microwave vial is added palladium(II) acetate (1.1 mg, 0.0049 mmol), tris(3-sulfophenyl)phosphine trisodium salt (5.1 mg, 0.0099 mmol), 2,4-dichlorophenylboronic acid (0.099 g, 0.5 mmol), 6-(5-bromo-2-ethylphenyl)-2,2,4,4-tetramethylcyclohexane-1,3,5-trione (0.19 g, 0.5 mmol) and potassium phosphate (0.53 g, 2.5 mmol). Degassed water (0.75 ml) is next added (washing-down any solids from the slides of the vial), followed by stirring for 5 minutes and flushing with argon. This mixture is then heated at 160° C. under microwave irradiation for 15 minutes. A further quantity of 2,4-dichlorophenylboronic acid (0.099 g, 0.5 mmol) and potassium phosphate (0.095 g, 0.5 mmol) are added, the reaction mixture again blanketed under an atmosphere of argon, and the mixture is heated at 160° C. for a further 15 minutes. After cooling to room temperature the reaction mixture is diluted with dichloromethane (5 ml) and acidified with 2M aqueous hydrochloric acid. The organic phase is separated, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and filtered through a plug of silica gel. The filtrate is concentrated under reduced pressure and the residue is dissolved in N,N-dimethylformamide (approximately 1 ml) and purified by preparative reverse phase HPLC to afford 6-(2′,4′-dichloro-4-ethylbiphenyl-3-yl)-2,2,4,4-tetramethyl-cyclohexane-1,3,5-trione as a colourless oil (80.6 mg).
