Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3-[4-(6-chloro-pyridin-3-yl)-5,5-dimethyl-5H-furan-(2E)-ylidene]-6-fluoro-1.3-dihydro-indol-2-one (60 mg, 0.17 mmol), potassium vinyltrifluoroborate (40 mg, 0.30 mmol), [1,1′-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene]dichloropalladium(II) (complex with CH2Cl2, 10 mg, 0.012 mmol) and triethylamine (60 mg, 0.59 mmol) in isopropanol/water (10 mL/5 mL) solution was heated at 76° C. under nitrogen for 2.5 hours. The reaction was cooled to room temperature and poured into 100 mL of water. The resulting precipitates were filtered, washed with water and dried in vacuo to give (3E)-3-[5,5-dimethyl-4-(6-vinylpyridin-3-yl)furan-2(5H)-ylidene]-6-fluoro-1,3-dihydro-2H-indol-2-one as a brown solid. Yield: 50 mg, 85%.
