Potassium Phosphate, Tribasic → (4'-{1-ethyl-1-[3-methyl-4-((E)-4,4,4-trifluoro-3-hydroxy-3-trifluoromethyl-1-butenyl)-phenyl]-propyl}-2'-methyl-biphenyl-3-yl)acetic acid methyl ester

Reaction Steps

Palladium acetate (3.6 mg, 0.016 mmol), 2-dicyclohexylphosphino-2′,6′-dimethoxy-1,1′-biphenyl (13.1 mg, 0.032 mmol), potassium phosphate (51 mg, 0.24 mmol) and water (0.04 mL) were added to a solution of (E)-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-3-buten-2-ol (Example 26-(5); 40 mg, 0.070 mmol) and (3-bromo-phenyl)acetic acid methyl ester (Tetrahedron Letters 44 (2003) 331-334; 28 mg, 0.122 mmol) in toluene (0.4 mL). After replacement with nitrogen, the mixture was stirred at 100° C. for 30 minutes. Then, the reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure, and the residue was dissolved in dichloromethane. Thereafter, the solution was filtered through amino silica gel, and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was purified by silica gel chromatography (hexane:ethyl acetate=2:1) to give the target compound as a colorless oil (12.8 mg, 31%).
