Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 4-bromo-2,2-dimethyl-5-{4-(methylsulfonyl)phenyl}-3(2H)-furanone (170 mg) in 30 ml toluene and 10 ml ethanol, were added 25 mg of tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0), 10 ml of saturated aqueous sodium carbonate, and 130 mg of 3-acetylbenzeneboronic acid. The reaction solution was stirred at 90° C. for 12 hours. Then the solvent was removed under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was extracted with water and dichloromethane. The organic layer was concentrated in vacuo and the resulting residue was separated by column chromatography (hexane/ethylacetate=2:1) to afford 100 mg of 4-(3-acetylphenyl)-2,2-dimethyl-5-{4-(methylsulfonyl)phenyl}-3(2H)-furanone as a solid. mp: 189-190° C. NMR: δ1.60 (s, 6H), 2.59 (s, 3H), 3.07 (s, 3H), 7.48 (m, 2H), 7.82 (d, J=8.7 Hz, 2H), 7.90 (m, 2H), 7.94 (d, J=8.4 Hz, 2H). IR (cm−1): 1690, 1620, 1589, 1149, 958, 770.
