Reaction Steps

1-Benzyloxy-4-bromo-2-fluoro-benzene (1.62 g, 5.7 mmol) obtained in Step A was added with methyl acrylate (1 mL), 1,4-dioxane (19 mL), Pd2(dba)3(0.1 g, 0.11 mmol), TEA (1.6 mL, 11.4 mmol) and tri-t-butylphosphine tetrafluoroborate (0.16 g, 0.57 mmol), and the mixture was stirred at 100° C. for 6 hours. The reactant was filtered by using celite, and the filtrate was washed with EtOAc and purified by column chromatography to obtain the title compound (0.37 g, 22%).
