Reaction Steps

A mixture of the compound (3.22 g) obtained in step (1) above, 2-cyclopropyl-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolane (3.89 g), tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) (669 mg), cesium carbonate (11.3 g), toluene (20.0 mL) and water (10.0 mL) was stirred at 100° C. for 6 hours. After cooling the reaction mixture to room temperature, the precipitate was removed by filtration through Celite (registered trademark). To the filtrate, water and ethyl acetate were added and extraction was conducted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic layers were washed with water and saturated brine successively and after passage through a phase separator, they were concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (n-hexane:ethyl acetate=100:0-50:50) and further purified by preparative HPLC. A saturated aqueous solution of sodium hydrogencarbonate was then added and extraction was conducted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic layers were passed through a phase separator and thereafter concentrated under reduced pressure to give the titled compound as a colorless oil (614 mg).
