Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of furan (1.45 mL, 20.0 mmol) in THF (30.0 mL) was added sec-butyllithium (1.3M, 7.69 mL, 10.0 mmol) at -78° C. After half an hour at this temperature, trimethyl borate (2.27 mL, 20.0 mmol) was added. The reaction mixture was stirred at -78° C. for one hour and slowly warmed up to room temperature. Solvent was removed, and benzene (10.0 mL), sodium carbonate (2.0M, 5.0 mL), tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) (175 mg) and 5-bromo-3-(1-methyl-2-(S)-pyrrolidinylmethoxy)pyridine (1.36 g, 5.0 mmol) were added. The reaction mixture was refluxed overnight, then cooled to room temperature. Water (2 mL) was added, and solid sodium bicarbonate was added until the aqueous layer was saturated. The mixture was extracted with EtOAc, which was dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated. The residue was chromatographed on a silica gel column, eluting with NH4OH/MeOH/EtOAc 0:1:9 and 1:10:90 to afford an oil (1.27 g, 99%).
