Reaction Steps

2-(4-Bromo-3,5-dimethoxyphenyl)furan was coupled with N,2-dimethoxy-N-methyl-2-(4-(5-methylfuran-2-yl)phenyl)acetamide following the method used for the final coupling step of Example 12. Purification by chromatography (30-60% EtOAc-hexanes) provided 1-(5-(4-bromo-3,5-dimethoxyphenyl)furan-2-yl)-2-methoxy-2-(4-(5-methylfuran-2-yl)phenyl)ethanone as a pale orange colored solid (0.172 g, 47% yield). MS: m/z 511.0 [M+H]+.
