Reaction Steps

A flask was charged with 2-[3,4-bis(methyloxy)phenyl]-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolane (0.429 g, 1.625 mmol), 1-methylethyl[(2S,4R)-1-acetyl-6-bromo-2-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-4-quinolinyl]carbamate (for a preparation see Intermediate 100) (0.5 g, 1.354 mmol), a saturated NaHCO3 aqueous solution (1.5 mL, 1.354 mmol) and bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene]dichloropalladium(II)-DCM adduct (0.111 g, 0.135 mmol) then filled with 1,4-dioxane (7 mL). The resulting mixture was degassed by bubbling nitrogen in to it, stirred at 100° C. for 1 hr under microwave irradiation then cooled to room temperature. The reaction mixture was filtered through celite and concentrated in vacuovacuo. The residue was partitioned between EtOAC (30 mL) and water (30 mL) and the layers were separated. The organic phase was washed with brine (25 mL) dried over MgSO4 and concentrated in vacuovacuo. Purification of the residue by flash chromatography on silica gel (gradient:0 to 60% AcOEt in Hexanes) gave 1-methylethyl {(2S,4R)-1-acetyl-6-[3,4-bis(methyloxy)phenyl]-2-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-4-quinolinyl}carbamate (327 mg, 0.766 mmol, 56.6%).
