Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of (4-fluoro-phenyl)-boronic acid (300 mg, 2.1 mmoles), 3-(4-iodophenoxymethyl)-2-methyl-furan (123). (500 mg, 1.6 mmoles) and potassium acetate (0.6 g) in N,N-dimethylformamide (70 mL) was degassed, treated with [1,1′-bis(diphenylphosphino) ferrocene]dichloropalladium(II) complex with dichloromethane (1:1) (90 mg) and the mixture was agitated at 95° C. for 12 hours under an argon atmosphere. The mixture was concentrated in vacuo, partitioned between water (100 ml) and diethyl ether (200 ml). The aqueous phase was re-extracted with diethyl ether, and the combined ethereal phases were dried and evaporated. The residue was purified by flash chromatography, using diethyl ether as eluent, to afford compound 124 (200 mg) as a solid. This material was used directly.
