Reaction Steps

Combined (2-(tert-butoxy)-2-oxoethyl)zinc(II) chloride (4.24 mL, 2.122 mmol) and 4-bromo-3-methoxybenzonitrile (0.30 g, 1.42 mmol) in THF (4.29 mL), then 2′-(dicyclohexylphosphino)-N,N-dimethyl-[1,1′-biphenyl]-2-amine (0.056 g, 0.141 mmol) and Pd(dba)2 (0.041 g, 0.071 mmol) were added and the reaction was refluxed at 100° C. overnight. The reaction mixture was concentrated down by rotary evaporation and purified on a silica gel column eluting with hexanes and EtOAc to give the title compound as a yellow oil (102 mg, 29%). MS m/z [M+H]+ 248.
