Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A solution of Example 21A (2.50 g, 7.04 mmol), PPh3 (0.370 g, 1.41 mmol), and Na2CO3 (1.49 g, 14.1 mmol) in DME (35 mL) was treated with tert-butyl acrylate (2.00 mL, 14.1 mmol) and palladium(II) acetate (0.158 g, 0.704 mmol). The reaction was heated to 80° C. under an atmosphere of nitrogen for 16 hours. The reaction was cooled to ambient temperature and partitioned between ethyl acetate (100 mL) and brine. The organic phase was washed with brine (2×100 mL), dried (Na2SO4), filtered, and concentrated. The compound was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel using heptane/ethyl acetate (6:1) to (3:1) to provide the desired product (1.70 g, 3.01 mmol). 1H NMR (DMSO-d6, 400 MHz) δ 8.24 (s, 1H), 7.94 (s, 1H), 7.62 (d, 1H), 7.17 (br s, 2H), 6.22 (d, 1H), 1.48 (s, 9H); MS m/e 355/357 (M+H)+.
