Reaction Steps

1-[4-Bromo-7-(1-phenylethoxy)benzofuran-2-yl]ethanone (compound 3) (1.0 g, 2.79 mmol) and (E)-N,N-diethyl-2-butenamide (0.47 g, 3.35 mmol) were dissolved in triethylamine (10 ml), and the inside of the system was replaced by nitrogen gas. Palladium acetate (0.031 g, 0.14 mmol) and tri-o-tolylphosphine (0.085 g, 0.28 mmol) were added and the mixture was stirred with heating at 78-90° C. for 16 hr. After confirmation of the completion of the reaction by TLC, 5% HCl aqueous solution was added and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The mixture was washed with saturated brine, dried over MgSO4, and the solvent was evaporated to give a brown oil. Purification by silica gel column chromatography (hexane:acetone=5:1) was performed to give (E)-3-[2-acetyl-7-(1-phenylethoxy)benzofuran-4-yl]-N,N-diethyl-2-butenamide (0.51 g, yield 43.6%) as a pale-yellow crystal.
