Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a degassed mixture of ethyl phenylphosphinate (1.87 g, 11.0 mmol) and 4-bromo-1-isopropoxy-2-vinylbenzene (2.43 g, 10.0 mmol), which was commercially available, in acetonitrile (66 mL) were added triethylamine (3.1 mL, 22.0 mmol), palladium acetate (112 mg, 0.5 mmol), and 1,1′-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene (277 mg, 0.5 mmol). The mixture was further degassed and heated at 68° C. for 24 hrs. The volatiles were removed in vacuo, and the crude was purified by column chromatography using 50 to 80% ethyl acetate in petroleum ether to afford compound BA4 (3.74 g) in 87% yield. 1H NMR (CDCl3, 400 MHz): δ (ppm) 1.36 (d, J=5.7 Hz, 6H), 1.37 (t, J=6.9 Hz, 3H), 4.15-4.05 (m, 2H), 4.62 (sept., J=6.0 Hz, 1H), 5.28 (dd, J=11.2 and 1.4 Hz, 1H), 5.78 (dd, J=17.7 and 1.4 Hz, 1H), 6.91 (dd, J=8.45 and 3.0 Hz, 1H), 6.99 (dd, J=17.9 and 11.4 Hz, 1H), 7.41-7.47 (m, 2H), 7.47-7.55 (m, 1H), 7.63 (ddd, J=11.7, 8.5 and 2.0 Hz, 1H), 7.79 (dd, J=12.3 and 1.4 Hz, 1H), 7.81 (dt, J=12.3 and 1.4 Hz, 1H), 7.90 (dd, J=12.4 and 2.0 Hz, 1H); 31P NMR (CDCl3, 161.8 MHz): δ (ppm) 32.61.
