Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-(5-bromoisochroman-1-yl)-4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazole (720 mg), bis(pinacolato)diboron (715 mg) bis(tri-t-butylphosphine)palladium(0) (39 mg), potassiumacetate (503 mg), dioxane (9 ml) and DMF (0.75 ml) was stirred under inert atmosphere in microwave reactor at 160° C. for 30 minutes. Additional bis(tri-t-butylphosphine)palladium(0) (21 mg) was added and heating continued for 15 minutes. The intermediate 2-(5-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)isochroman-1-yl)-4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazole (680 mg) was purified with separation method A and stirred with EtOAc (2 ml), water (2 mil) and hydrogen peroxide (35%, 0.07 ml) at ice bath temperature for 2 hrs. The title compound was purified with separation methods A and E. (Yield 45 mg).
