Reaction Steps

In an oven-dried flask placed under a nitrogen atmosphere, the product of Step 3 (25 g), 2,4-dimethoxyphenylboronic acid (11.1 g) and sodium carbonate (14.2 g) were stirred in 1,2-dimethoxyethane (125 mL) and deionized water (40 mL). A nitrogen purge line was inserted directly into the reaction mixture for 10 minutes and then removed. Tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) (1.4 g) was added to the reaction mixture. It was heated to reflux for 4 hours. After cooling to room temperature, the reaction mixture was poured into a beaker containing deionized water (1 L) and ice. Concentrated hydrochloric acid was added while stirring vigorously until the pH reached 3. The mixture was transferred to a separatory funnel and extracted with chloroform 3 times (400 mL each time). The organic layers were recovered, combined and then placed directly onto a silica gel column (600 g) eluting with a mixture of 30% ethyl acetate/70% hexanes. Fractions containing product were combined and concentrated by rotary evaporation. The resulting residue was slurried in a minimal amount of a solution of 10% ethyl acetate/90% hexanes. A solid precipitate was collected by vacuum filtration. 25.4 grams of methyl 4-acetoxy-1-(2′,4′-dimethoxy-[1,1′-biphenyl]-4-yl)-7-methoxy-2-naphthoate was isolated.
