Participants

Reaction Steps

A stirred mixture of Intermediate 37 (0.8 g) and 4-{[tert-butyl(dimethyl)silyl]oxy} benzenethiol (0.74 g, EP465802A1), with (oxydi-2,1-phenylene)bis(diphenylphosphine) (0.05 g), potassium tert-butoxide (0.26 g) and tris(dibenzylideneacetone) dipalladium(0) (0.08 g) in toluene (30 ml) was heated at 106° C. for 18 h. The mixture was cooled, diluted with ethyl acetate (25 ml) and washed with a sodium carbonate solution (30 ml). The organic extracts were washed with water (30 ml) , dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by chromatography on silica gel using ethyl acetate/diethyl ether (7:3) as the eluent. The appropriate fractions were concentrated in vacuo to give the title compound as a yellow foam (0.38 g).
