Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 4-(4-bromophenethyl)morpholine (731 mg, 2.71 mmol) and 4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-2-vinyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolane (0.5 mL, 2.95 mmol, 1.1 eq.) in a 20 mL microwave vial was added Et3N (0.76 mL, 5.4 mmol, 2 eq.), followed by Pd(PtBu3)2 (14 mg, 0.027 mmol, 1 mol %). The resulting mixture was purged with argon, then capped and heated at 80° C. (oil temp.) for 2 h. After cooling to rt, the reaction was quenched with sat. NaHCO3 (10 mL), H2O (10 mL), extracted with EtOAc (30 mL×2) and dried over Na2SO4. After evaporation of the solvents, the residue was purified by Biotage column system (EtOAc/hex gradient: 0-100%) to give (E)-4-(4-(2-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)vinyl)phenethyl)morpholine as a white solid (714 mg, 77%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.42 (d, J=8.0 Hz, 2H), 7.38 (d, J=19.0 Hz, 1H), 7.19 (d, J=7.8 Hz, 2H), 6.13 (d, J=18.3 Hz, 1H), 3.75 (t, J=4.4 Hz, 4H), 2.84-2.77 (m, 2H), 2.63-2.56 (m, 2H), 2.53 (br, pseudo s, 4H), 1.32 (s, 12H).
