Reaction Steps

(Step 1) A solution of tert butyl 4-bromo-3-methylbenzoate (3.3 g, 12.2 mmol) was reacted with 4-cyanophenylboronic acid (2.15 g, 14.6 mmol) according to the procedure described for compound 14. The crude product was purified by column chromatography (silica gel, 3:2 hexanes/methylene dichloride) to afford tert-butyl 4′-cyano-2-methyl-1,1′-biphenyl-4-carboxylate as a white solid (3.0 g, 84% yield). ESI-MS m/e 294.1 (M+1).
