Reaction Steps

In a microwave vial, methyl 2-((S)-6-((R)-7-fluoro-4-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)-2,3-dihydro-1H-inden-1-yloxy)-2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-3-yl)acetate (200 mg), 3-bromo-2-methylbenzonitrile (169 mg), K3PO4 (274 mg), Palladium-(II)-acetate (10 mg) and dicyclohexyl(2′,6′-dimethoxybiphenyl-2-yl)phosphine (S-Phos) (18 mg) are suspended in toluene (10 mL) and water (2 mL) and purged for 10 minutes with argon. The vial is sealed and the mixture is stirred at 100° C. for 4 hours. After cooling to ambient temperature the mixture is partitioned between ethyl acetate and water. The organic phase is dried (MgSO4) and concentrated. The residue is chromatographed on silica gel (cyclohexane/ethyl acetate 90:10) to give the title compound. Yield: 124 mg; LC (method 20): tR=8.09 min; Mass spectrum (ESI+): m/z=558 [M+−H]+.
