Procedure

5-Bromo-4-methyl-2-benzofuran-1(3H)-one (598 mg, 4.47 mmol), potassium vinyl trifluoroborate (507 mg, 2.23 mmol), PdCl2(dppf)-CH2Cl2Adduct (182 mg, 0.223 mmol), and TEA (0.622 mL, 4.47 mmol) were added to 10 mL ethanol in a 20 mL microwave tube. The tube was sealed and degassed, then heated to 140° C. for 20 min. Analysis by LC-MS showed product peak. The reaction mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate, washed with brine twice, dried and evaporated to dryness. The crude product was purified by MPLC chromatography using a 120 g Redi-sep column and 0-80% EtOAc/Hexane solvent system to yield 5-ethenyl-4-methyl-2-benzofuran-1(3H)-one. 1H-NMR (500 MHz, CDCl3): δ ppm 7.76 (d, J=8 Hz, 1H), 7.03(dd, J=11, 17 Hz, 1H), 5.84 (d, J=17 Hz, 1H), 5.55 (d, J=11 Hz, 1H), 5.29 (s, 2H), 2.34 (s, 3H); LC-MS: M+1=175;
