Reaction Steps

4′-(4-Bromo-2-ethoxy-5-formylimidazol-1-ylmethyl)-3′-fluorobiphenyl-2-carboxylic acid t-butyl ester (30.0 g, 59.6 mmol), 2,4,6-trivinylcyclotriboroxane pyridine complex (5.74 g, 23.8 mmol), tetrakis(triphenylphosphine) palladium(0) (689 mg, 596 μmol), potassium carbonate (8.2 g, 59.6 mmol), 1,2-dimethoxyethane (266 mL, 2560 mmol), and water (107 mL, 5960 mmol) were combined. The solution was heated at 90° C. for 4 hours. After cooling to room temperature, EtOAc (300 mL) and water (100 mL) was added. The organic layer was dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. The product was purified by silica gel chromatography (5-30% EtOAc:hexanes) to yield compound A (22.5 g).
