Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5-bromo-N-(3,4-dimethoxybenzyl)-2-fluorobenzamide (200 mg) in dimethylformamide (2 mL) were added methyl acrylate (0.068 mL), triethylamine (0.09 mL) and dichlorobis(triphenylphosphine)pailadium(II) (13.4 mg), and the mixture was stirred for 6 hours at 120° C. in a sealed tube. The resulting mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate and washed successively with water and brine. The organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate and evaporated in vacuo. The residue was subjected to a silica gel column chromatography eluting with a mixture of chloroform and ethyl acetate (9:1) to give N-(3,4-dimethoxybenzyl)-2-fluoro-5-[trans-2-(methoxycarbonyl)ethenyl]benzamide (117 mg) as a solid substance.
