Potassium Carbonate → 1-(4-{1-Ethyl-1-[4-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-[1,3,2]dioxaborolan-2-yl)-phenyl]-propyl}-2-methyl-phenoxy)-3,3-dimethyl-butan-2-one

Reaction Steps

Potassium carbonate (54.5 mg, 0.395 mmol) and 1-chloropinacolin (71 mg, 0.526 mmol) were added to a solution of 4-{1-ethyl-1-[4-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-[1,3,2]dioxaborolan-2-yl)-phenyl]-propyl}-2-methyl-phenol (Example 143-(3); 100 mg, 0.263 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (2 mL), and the mixture was stirred with microwave heating at 140° C. for 15 minutes. The reaction mixture was then poured into a saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution, followed by extraction with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with water and brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was purified by silica gel chromatography (hexane:ethyl acetate=100:0 to 50:50, 40 minutes) to give the target compound as a colorless oil (39.7 mg, 32%).
