Reaction Steps

(4-Bromo-phenyl)acetic acid methyl ester (Tetrahedron Letters 44 (2003) 331-334; 25 mg, 0.109 mmol), palladium acetate (1.6 mg, 0.007 mmol), 2-dicyclohexylphosphino-2′,6′-dimethoxy-1,1′-biphenyl (5.7 mg, 0.014 mmol), potassium phosphate (46 mg, 0.216 mmol) and water (0.2 mL) were added to a solution of 4-(4-{1-ethyl-1-[3-methyl-4-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-[1,3,2]dioxaborolan-2-yl)-phenyl]-propyl}-2-methyl-phenyl)-1,1,1-trifluoro-2-trifluoromethyl-butan-2-ol (Example 27-(2); 41.5 mg, 0.072 mmol) in toluene (2 mL). After replacement with nitrogen, the mixture was stirred at 100° C. for one hour. The reaction mixture was then poured into a saturated aqueous ammonium chloride solution, followed by extraction with dichloromethane. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was purified by silica gel chromatography (hexane:ethyl acetate=4:1) to give the target compound as a colorless oil (25.9 mg, 61%).
