Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 1.59 mmol 5-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-[1,3,2]dioxaborolan-2-yl)-1,3-dihydro-isoindole-2-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester and 1.44 mmol 5-bromo-3,4-dihydro-2H-pyran (CAS: 26274-19-1) in 9 ml ethanol and 21 ml toluene was added 0.08 mmol 1,1-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene dichloro palladium (II) dichloromethane adduct. The mixture was heated to 80° C. and then 10 ml of a solution of 2 M aqueous sodium carbonate was added dropwise. After stirring for a further 2 h at 80° C., the reaction mixture was diluted with 50 ml water and extracted with 3×50 ml ethyl acetate. The combined organic phases were dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by chromatography (SiO2, heptane/ethyl acetate) to yield the title compound as a yellow oil (40% yield). MS (m/e): 246.1 ([M+H-Me2C═CH2]+, 100%).
