Reaction Steps

To 3-(5-Bromo-2-formyl-phenoxy)-azetidine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (1.4 g, 3.9 mmol), 2-methylphenylboronic acid (0.55 g, 4.1 mmol), K3PO4 (2.5 g, 11.7 mmol), Pd(dba)2 (0.046 g, 0.080 mmol) and QPhos (0.114 g, 0.160 mmol) was added PhCH3 (16 mL). After 18 h at rt the reaction was diluted with EtOAc and filtered through a small silica pad. Silica gel chromatography (10-40% EtOAc in hexanes) gave 1.42 g (98% yield) of the title compound. 1H NMR (CDCl3): 7.26-7.18 (m, 4H), 6.94 (d, J=8.3 Hz, 1H), 6.90 (dd, J=8.2, 2.0 Hz, 1H), 6.55 (d, J=1.9 Hz, 1H), 4.90-4.86 (m, 1H), 4.26 (dd, J=10.1, 6.3 Hz, 2H), 4.12 (m, 4H), 2.26 (s, 3H), 1.49 (t, J=7.0 Hz, 3H), 1.44 (s, 9H).
