Reaction Steps

A stirred mixture of 83.2C (10.33 g, 31.0 mmol), ground S-Phos (2.55 g, 6.21 mmol), palladium acetate (0.70 g, 3.11 mmol), and potassium phosphate, tribasic (16.49 g, 77.7 mmol) in DMF (75 mL) and water (4 mL) was purged with argon and placed vacuum and the process was repeated three times. Before heating, 2-(5,5-dimethylcyclopent-1-enyl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolane (66.6° C.) (8.96 g, 40.4 mmol) was added via syringe, and then the mixture was heated to 75° C. After 21 hours, the reaction was cooled to room temperature, diluted with water and extracted three times with EtOAc. The combined organic layers were combined and washed twice with brine. After drying over anhydrous sodium sulfate and filtration, the organic solvent was removed under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel flash chromatography (0-10% EtOAc/hexane) to yield 83.2D (5.65 g, 52%) 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ ppm 7.63 (1H, d, J=8.6 Hz), 6.93 (1H, d, J=13.3 Hz), 5.55 (1H, t, J=2.3 Hz), 5.43 (1H, t, J=2.7 Hz), 3.90 (3H, s), 3.82 (1H, m), 3.67 (1H, m), 2.41 (2H, td, J=7.0, 2.3 Hz), 1.97 (5H, m), 1.79 (3H, m), 1.07 (6H, d, J=13.7 Hz).
