Reaction Steps

To a solution of 0.4 g (1 mmol) of methyl (Z)-3-(3-butoxy-4-iodophenyl)-2-ethoxyacrylate in 8 mL of ethylene glycol dimethyl ether placed under nitrogen, 0.25 g (1.1 mmol) of methyl[3-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl[1.3.2]dioxaborolan-2-yl)phenyl]amine (prepared as in Example 10a), 1.5 mL (3 mmol) of aqueous 2 M potassium phosphate solution, 2 mg (0.01 mmol) of palladium (II) acetate and 7 mg (0.02 mmol) of dicyclohexyl-o-biphenylphosphine are added. The reaction medium is then heated at 80° C. for 20 hours. After addition of water, the reaction medium is extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic phase is washed with water, dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and evaporated. The residue obtained is purified by chromatography on a column of silica eluted with an 85/15 heptane/ethyl acetate mixture. 0.2 g (63%) of methyl (Z)-3-(2-butoxy-3′-methylaminobiphenyl-4-yl)-2-ethoxyacrylate are obtained.
