Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-bromo-1-butoxy-4-methoxybenzene (1.2 g, 4.7 mmol), TEA (2.6 mL, 19 mmol), (oxydi-2,1-phenylene)bis(diphenylphosphine) (0.51 g, 0.95 mmol) (Aldrich, CAS# 166330-10-5), palladium(II) acetate (0.11 g, 0.47 mmol), and 4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolane (2.1 mL, 14 mmol) (Aldrich, CAS# 25015-63-8) in 1,4-dioxane (5.0 mL) was stirred overnight at 95° C. The mixture was cooled to room temperature, quenched with saturated aqueous ammonium chloride, and extracted with ether. The combined organic layers were dried over MgSO4 and concentrated. The crude product was purified by silica gel flash chromatography (0-10% EtOAc/hexane) to afford compound C.3 (0.60 g, 41% yield) as a colorless oil. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.16 (d, J=3.1 Hz, 1H), 6.91 (dd, J=3.1, 9.0 Hz, 1H), 6.79 (d, J=9.0 Hz, 1H), 3.91 (t, J=6.3 Hz, 2H), 3.78 (s, 3H), 1.75 (m, 2H), 1.54 (m, 2H), 1.34 (s, 12H), 0.96 (t, J=7.4, 3H).
