Procedure

A mixture of methyl 5-bromofuroate (1 g, 5 mmoles), phenylboronic acid (1 g, 8.2 mmoles), tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) (0.2 g, 0.17 mmoles), sodium carbonate (1.5 g, 17.4 mmoles) in toluene (100 ml) was refluxed for 16 hours. After cooling, the solvent was evaporated and the yellow residue was partionned between water (50 ml) and ethyl acetate (50 ml). The aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate (3×30 ml) and the combined organic layers washed with water (1×30 ml) and dried (MgSO4). The residue was purified by flash chromatography (20% ethyl acetate/70% cyclohexane and 10% diethyl ether/90% cyclohexane) to afford (7) (384 mg). This ester was used directly in the next step.
