Procedure

A mixture of 3-ethyl-4-iodobenzonitrile (D10) (1.23 g, 4.80 mmol), 1-cyclohexen-1-ylboronic acid (907 mg, 7.20 mmol), sodium methoxide (778 mg, 14.4 mmol) and bis(triphenylphosphine)palladium (II) chloride (337 mg, 0.48 mmol) in anhydrous methanol (12 mL) was heated at 80° C. for 10 minutes in the microwave. The reaction mixture was partitioned between ethyl acetate (40 mL) and water (40 mL) before the organic layer was further washed with water (40 mL), dried (phase separator) and concentrated in vacuo. The crude material was purified by silica chromatography, eluting 0-5% EtOAc in hexane over 30 minutes to give the title compound as a yellow oil (824 mg, 3.91 mmol). δH (methanol-d4, 400 MHz) 7.56 (1H, d), 7.46 (1H, dd), 7.19 (1H, d), 5.61-5.56 (1H, m), 2.68 (2H, quart), 2.23-2.16 (4H, m), 1.85-1.68 (4H, m), 1.20 (3H, t).
