Reaction Steps

(4-Bromo-phenyl)acetic acid methyl ester (Tetrahedron Letters 44 (2003) 331-334; 34 mg, 0.149 mmol), palladium acetate (2.2 mg, 0.010 mmol), 2-dicyclohexylphosphino-2′,6′-dimethoxy-1,1′-biphenyl (8.2 mg, 0.020 mmol), potassium phosphate (63 mg, 0.297 mmol) and water (0.2 mL) were added to a solution of (E)-1-(4-{1-[3,5-dimethyl-4-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-[1,3,2]dioxaborolan-2-yl)-phenyl]-1-ethyl-propyl}-2-methyl-phenyl)-3-ethyl-1-penten-3-ol (Example 38-(6); 50 mg, 0.099 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 (31.8 mg, 61%).
