Reaction Steps

To a solution of methyl 2-(2-bromo-1-benzothiophen-3-yl)-2-(tert-butoxy)acetate (4c) (40 mg, 0.11 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (2 mL) were successively added sodium carbonate (13 mg, 0.12 mmol), water (500 μL), palladium tetrakis(triphenylphosphine) (18.3 mg, 0.016 mmol) and 6-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)chroman (29 mg, 0.11 mmol). The mixture was heated at 100° C. for 2 hours. After cooling to room temperature, water (10 mL) was added. The aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate (2×10 mL). The organic layer was washed with brine (10 mL), dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and evaporated to dryness. The residue was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel (cyclohexane/ethyl acetate 90/10) to afford the desired product (4d) as a white solid (25 mg, 0.061 mmol, 55%).
