Reaction Steps

Degassed N,N-dimethylformamide (0.25 mL) was added to (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); 22.9 mg, 0.0401 mmol), (2-bromo-thiazol-4-yl)-acetic acid ethyl ester (Example 42; 17.8 mg, 0.071 mmol), tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium (0) (5.9 mg, 0.0051 mmol) and potassium phosphate (19.2 mg, 0.0904 mmol). After replacement with nitrogen, the mixture was heated while stirring at an external temperature of 95 to 105° C. for five hours. Water was added to the reaction mixture, followed by extraction with diethyl ether. The extract was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and then concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel chromatography (hexane/dichloromethane=1/4) to give the title compound (9.7 mg, 39%).
