Reaction Steps

A solution of (E)-3-ethyl-1-(4-{1-ethyl-1-[4-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-[1,3,2]dioxaborolan-2-yl)-phenyl]-propyl}-2-methyl-phenyl)-1-penten-3-ol (Example 39-(5); 50.0 mg, 0.10 mmol), (5-bromo-pyridin-3-yl)acetic acid methyl ester (Example 24-(2); 36.2 mg, 0.15 mmol), tetrakistriphenylphosphine palladium (16.8 mg, 0.0146 mmol) and potassium phosphate (33.4 mg, 0.15 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (0.30 mL) was stirred with microwave heating at 140° C. for 10 minutes. The reaction mixture was filtered through cotton plug, and the residue was purified by silica gel chromatography (40 to 50% ethyl acetate/hexane) to give the title compound (46.5 mg, 88%).
