Procedure

1,4-dioxane (250 mL) was degassed by purging with N2 gas for 30 min and to this, were added a solution of compound 2 (13.2 g, 53.4 mmol) in 1,4-dioxane (50 mL; degassed), (4-methoxyphenyl)methanethiol (PMBSH) (8.2 g, 53.4 mmol), xantphos (1.54 g, 2.66 mmol), diisopropyl ethyl amine (19.6 mL, 106.8 mmol) and Pd2(dba)3 (1.22 g, 1.33 mmol) at RT. The reaction mixture was heated to 90° C. and stirred for 2 h. The reaction was monitored by TLC; after completion of the reaction, the reaction mixture was diluted with hexane (450 mL) and stirred at RT for 15 min. The resultant solution was filtered through celite and washed with hexane (100 mL). The filtrate was washed water (250 mL) dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure to obtain the crude. This was purified by silica gel column chromatography using 3-4% EtOAc/Hexanes to afford compound 3 (15 g, 88%) as pale yellow solid. 1H NMR (500 MHz, CDCl3): δ 7.78-7.74 (m, 1H), 7.43-7.39 (m, 1H), 7.19 (d, J=8.0 Hz, 2H), 7.07-7.04 (m, 1H), 6.80 (d, J=8.0 Hz, 2H), 4.41 (q, J=7.2 Hz, 2H), 4.08 (s, 2H), 3.78 (s, 3H), 1.41 (t, J=7.2 Hz, 3H). LC-MS (ESI): 89.7%; m/z 318.9 (M−H+); (column: X Select CSH C-18, 50×3.0 mm, 3.5 μm); RT 4.22 min; 5 mM NH4OAc: ACN; 0.8 mL/min).
