Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1B (7.65 g, 28 mmol) in THF (50 mL)-MeOH (50 mL) at RT was added phenylboronic acid (6.83 g, 56 mmol), PXPd (500 mg, 0.93 mmol), followed by K2CO3 (15.5 g, 112 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at 70° C. in a preheated oil bath for 1 h. After this time, the reaction mixture was cooled to RT. The reaction mixture was poured into water (100 mL), and the resultant mixture was extracted with EtOAc (3×100 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with saturated NaCl. The organic layer was dried (Na2SO4), filtered and concentrated. The resulting residue was purified by silica gel (120 g) column chromatography eluting with a gradient of EtOAc (0-60%) in hexane to give the title compound as an off-white solid (5.4 g, 72%). LC/MS (method A): retention time=3.07 min, (M+H)+=271.
