Procedure

A solution of ethyl 3-(4-((5-bromo-2,2-dimethyl-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-7-yl)methoxy)phenyl)-2-methylpropanoate (110) (80 mg, 0.179 mmol), 4-chlorophenyl boronic acid (30.8 mg, 0.197 mmol), Pd(PPh3)4 (7 mg, 00.006 mmol), saturated sodium bicarbonate (0.64 mL), methanol (1.5 mL), and toluene (0.64 mL) was heated in a microwave reactor for 40 minutes at 110° C. To the solution was added water and ethyl acetate and the two layers were separated. The crude compound was purified by flash column chromatography on silica gel with hexanes and EtOAc (30%) to afford ethyl 3-(4-((5-(4-chlorophenyl)-2,2-dimethyl-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-7-yl)methoxy)phenyl)-2-methylpropanoate. The ester was dissolved in tetrahydrofuran (1.0 mL), methanol (1.0 mL) and water (3 mL). Lithium hydroxide was added and the reaction was stirred at room temperature for 24 hours. The mixture was acidified with 1M HCl and diluted with EtOAc (3 mL). The organic layer was washed with brine (3 mL), dried over sodium sulfate and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo to yield 3-(4-((5-(4-chlorophenyl)-2,2-dimethyl-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-7-yl)methoxy)phenyl)-2-methylpropanoic acid (111). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.43-7.39 (m, 3H), 7.34 (d, J=8.3 Hz, 2H), 7.28 (d, J=8.3 Hz, 1H), 7.09 (d, J=8.2 Hz, 2H), 6.94 (d, J=8.3 Hz, 2H), 5.05 (s, 2H), 3.07 (s, 2H), 3.00 (dd, J=13.4, 6.4 Hz, 1H), 2.73-2.67 (m, 1H), 2.62-2.58 (m, 1H), 1.51 (s, 6H), 1.17 (d, J=6.8 Hz, 3H). LC-MS ESI m/z: found 449.1 [M−H]−.
