Reaction Steps

A stirred mixture of T6.6 (10.1 g, 31.9 mmol), grounded S-Phos (2.62 g, 6.39 mmol), palladium acetate (0.72 g, 3.2 mmol), and potassium phosphate, tribasic (17.0 g, 80.2 mmol) in DMF (70 mL) and water (3.5 mL) was purged three times with argon and placed under vacuum three times. Before heating, 2-(5,5-dimethylcyclopent-1-enyl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolane (T6.3) (8.50 g, 38.3 mmol) was added via syringe. The resulting mixture was then heated to 75° C. After 21 hours (black solution), the reaction was cooled to room temperature, diluted with water, and extracted three times with EtOAc. The organic layers were combined and washed twice with brine. After drying over anhydrous sodium sulfate and filtering, the organic solvent was removed under reduced pressure. The residue was purified on silica gel (0-20% EtOAc in hexanes) to yield T6.7 as a colorless oil that solidified (yield 80%). 1H NMR (400 MHz) (CDCl3) δ ppm 7.91 (1H, dd, J=8.6, 2.3 Hz), 7.74 (1H, d, J=2.3 Hz), 7.15 (1H, d, J=8.6 Hz), 5.55 (1H, t, J=2.3 Hz), 5.49 (1H, t, J=2.9 Hz), 3.88 (3H, s), 3.82 (1H, td, J=11.1, 2.9 Hz), 3.64 (1H, m), 2.43 (2H, td, J=7.0, 2.3 Hz), 1.92 (5H, m), 1.69 (1H, m), 1.61 (2H, m), 1.09 (6H, d, J=13.7 Hz).
