Reaction Steps

A mixture of ethyl 6-(benzenesulphonylmethyl)-3-bromo-2-methoxybenzoate (Intermediate 61, 0.1 g), palladium chloride dppf adduct with DCM (0.01 g), copper (I) iodide (0.003 g) and n-propyl zinc bromide (0.5M solution in THF, 0.96 ml) in THF (0.5 ml) was stirred and heated in the microwave at 160° C. for 10 minutes. After cooling, the mixture was filtered and the filtrate was evaporated to dryness. The residue was purified by chromatography on silica, eluting with a mixture of ethyl acetate and cyclohexane with a gradient of 0-60% to give ethyl 6-(benzenesulphonylmethyl)-2-methoxy-3-propylbenzoate (0.034 g) as a clear gum.
