To a solution of 4 g of Pd(OAc)2 in 100 ml of acetonitrile is added dropwise the crude product from Step 1(5 g) under nitrogen at room temperature. After 10 h at room temperature, the mixture is condensed under reduced pressure and the residue is purified by flash chromatography on silica gel eluted with 2:1 hexane/EtOAc to give the title compound.
