Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

In nitrogen atmosphere, tetrakistriphenylphosphine palladium(0) (4.66 g) and cesium fluoride (21.4 g) were added to a solution mixture of dioxane (95 mL) and water (5 mL) of 1-bromo-3,4,5-trifluorobenzene (8.5 g) and trans-1-propen-1-ylboronic acid (4.1 g). The resulting reaction solution was stirred at 80° C. for 5 hr and then cooled to room temperature, and hexane and water were added thereto. The insoluble matter was removed by filtration. The organic layer of the filtrate was separated and washed with water. The insoluble matter was removed by filtration again. The filtrate was washed with water and then with saturated saline, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane) to give 5.83 g of the title compound. The physical property values of this compound were as follows:
