Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 8.7 (0.100 g, 0.29 mmol) in DMF (2.00 mL, 26 mmol) at 23° C., was added 2-fluoro-5-methoxyphenylboronic acid (available from Aldrich) (0.100 g, 0.59 mmol), potassium carbonate (0.12 g, 0.88 mmol), followed by tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium (0.034 g, 0.029 mmol). The mixture was heated to 100° C. After 2 hours, the reaction was cooled to room temperature and diluted with water. The mixture was extracted with EtOAc (3×50 mL) and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was then purified by flash chromatography (SiO2 gel 60, eluted with 0%-15% EtOAc in hexanes). Fractions containing the desired product were combined and concentrated to provide 8.8 as a colorless oil (0.85 g, 71%). MS ESI (pos.) m/e: 317.2 (M+H)+.
