Reaction Steps

A solution of 2-(4-{2-[2-(4-bromophenyl)-5-methyloxazol-4-yl]ethoxy}phenoxy)-2-methylpropionic acid ethyl ester (300 mg, 0.614 mmol) (see Ex. 2, part B), 2-trifluoromethylphenylboronic acid (0.921 mmol), potassium fluoride (88.6 mg, 1.84 mmol), palladium acetate (1.3 mg, 0.14 μmol), and 2-(dicyclohexylphosphino)biphenyl (12.3 μmmol) were combined under N2, to which anhydrous THF (1.23 mL) was added. The yellow mixture was heated at reflux for 12 h. After cooling to room temperature, the mixture was partitioned between Et2O (20 mL) and 1M NaOH (10 mL). The layers were separated, and the aqueous phase was back-extracted with Et2O (10 mL). Combined organic phases were dried over Na2SO4, and concentrated. The product was purified by silica gel chromatography (25 g SiO2, 1:4 ethyl acetate:hexanes) to yield the desired product as an oil. Rf=0.47 in 1:4 ethyl acetate:hexanes; 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ7.98 (d, J=8.4 Hz, 2H), 7.73 (d, J=7.6 Hz, 1H), 7.55 (t, J=7.6 Hz, 1H), 7.46 (t, J=7.6Hz, 1H), 7.36 (d, J=8.4 Hz, 2H), 7.32 (d, J=7.6 Hz, 1H), 6.80-6.73 (m, 4H), 4.20 (q, J=7.2 Hz, 2H), 4.17 (t, J=6.6 Hz, 2H), 2.94 (t, J=6.6 Hz, 2H), 2.35 (s, 3H), 1.50 (s, 6H), 1.24 (t, J=7.2 Hz, 3H); MS (EI) 554.1 (M+H)+.
