Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1-(5-chloro-3-iodo-2-methoxy-4-methylphenyl)ethanone (1.0 g, 3.2 mmol, from Example 1, Step 2), 4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-2-vinyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolane (0.66 mL, 3.9 mmol), [1,1′-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene]dichloropalladium(II), complex with dichloromethane (1:1) (0.26 g, 0.32 mmol) and potassium carbonate (1.3 g, 9.4 mmol) in 1,4-dioxane (10 mL) and water (5 mL) was degassed with N2 and heated at 80° C. overnight. After cooled to room temperature, the reaction mixture was diluted with water and ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with brine, dried over MgSO4, concentrated and purified on a silica gel column (eluting with 0 to 10% EtOAc in hexanes) to give the desired product (0.60 g, 82%). LCMS calculated for C12H14ClO2 (M+H)+: m/z=225.1; Found:225.1
