Reaction Steps

K3PO4 (1.23 g, 5.79 mmol), Pd(OAc)2 (41 mg, 0.81 mmol) and 2-di-t-butylphosphino-2′,4′6′-tri-i-propyl-1,1′-biphenyl (68 mg, 0.16 mmol) was added to a solution of 4-hydroxy-2,2-dimethyl-2,3-dihydro-benzofuran-6-carboxylic acid methyl ester (3e) (646 mg, 2.91 mmol) and azetidin-1-yl-(4-bromo-phenyl)-methanone (35a) (697 mg, 2.90 mmol) in toluene (10 mL). The reaction mixture was heated to 110° C. overnight. The mixture was filtered, washed with EtOAc, and concentrated. The residue was purified by flash column chromatograph eluting with 10-25 % EtOAc in hexanes to give a white solid (802 mg, 72% yield). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.64 (d, J=6.82 Hz, 2 H) 7.23 (s, 1 H) 7.20 (s, 1 H) 6.97 (d, J=7.33 Hz, 2 H) 4.24-4.34 (m, 4 H) 3.87 (s, 3 H) 2.88 (s, 2 H) 2.50-2.61 (m, 1 H) 2.32-2.42 (m, 1H) 1.47 (s, 6 H); LCMS for C22H23NO5 m/z 382.00 (M+H)+.
