Reaction Steps

The mixture of 2-(4-fluoro-3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-1,3,2-dioxaborolane (2.34 g, 10 mmol), 2-bromo-3,3,3-trifluoroprop-1-ene (2.10 g, 12 mmol), Pd(Ph3P)2Cl2 (0.281 g, 0.4 mmol) and K2CO3 (2.76 g, 20 mmol) in THF (30 mL) and H2O (15 mL) was heated at 70° C. overnight. Then the reaction mixture was cooled down to rt, added water and extracted with ethyl acetate, washed with brine, dried with Na2SO4, concentrated to dryness to afford the crude product. It was further purified by column chromatography eluted with PE to afford the desired product (0.6 g, yield 23.3%) as light yellow oil. 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3): δ 7.69-7.62 (m, 2H), 7.27-7.21 (t, 1H), 6.05 (d, 1H), 5.80 (d, 1H) ppm.
