Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 66.6I (1.1209 g, 2.962 mmol) in dry DMF (10 mL) at 23° C. was added potassium carbonate (1.2262 g, 8.872 mmol) and then tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium (0.3408 g, 0.2949 mmol). The mixture was purged with argon and placed under vacuum and the purging and vacuum process repeated three times. Before heating, 66.50A (1.6019 g, 5.888 mmol) was added via syringe and then the mixture was heated to 90° C. After 19 hours, LC-MS showed that the reaction was complete. The mixture was cooled to room temperature and then diluted with water. After extracting three times with EtOAc, the mixture was concentrated in vacuo and then purified on silica gel (0%-10% EtOAc/hexane) to afford 66.50B as a clear oil (994.4 mg, 90% yield). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ ppm 8.00 (1H, dd, J=8.0, 1.8 Hz), 7.94 (1H, d, J=1.6 Hz), 7.50 (3H, m), 7.16 (1H, t, J=9.0 Hz), 6.63 (1H, t), 5.53 (1H, s), 3.96 (3H, s), 2.25 (2H, td, J=7.0, 2.3 Hz), 1.65 (2H, t, J=7.0 Hz), 0.85 (6H, s).
