Procedure

5-Bromo-4-methyl-2-benzofuran-1(3H)-one (600 mg, 4.5 mmol), potassium vinyl trifluoroborate (510 mg, 2.2 mmmol), PdCl2(dppf)-CH2Cl2 Adduct (180 mg, 0.220 mmmol), and TEA (0.62 mL, 4.5 mmol) were added to 10 mL ethanol in a 20 mL microwave tube. The tube was sealed and degassed, and then heated to 140° C. for 20 minutes. Analysis by LC-MS showed product peak. The reaction mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate, washed with brine twice, and dried and evaporated to dryness. The crude product was purified by MPLC chromatography (0-80% ETOAC/Hexane solvent system) to yield 5-ethenyl-4-methyl-2-benzofuran-1(3H)-one.
