Reaction Steps

In a screw cap pressure tube, 4-fluoro-3-(trifluoromethyl)-benzonitrile (425 mg, 1.70 mmol) and 2-(3,6-dihydro-2H-pyran-4-yl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolane (357.1 mg, 1.70 mmol) were dissolved in dimethoxyethane. Na2CO3 (2 M aq. sln, 2.5 ml) and LiCl (216.4 mg, 5.1 mmol) were added. N2 was bubbled through the mixture for 5 minutes. Pd(PPh3)4 (39.3 mg, 0.03 mmol) was added. The tube was sealed and the mixture heated to reflux for 20 h. The mixture was allowed to cool. H2O was added and the product extracted with EtOAc. The combined organic extracts were dried (MgSO4), filtered and concentrated. The crude product was purified by flash chromatography; Pet. Ether, EtOAc (4:1) affording 254 mg (59%) the title compound.
