Procedure

To a mixture of methyl 2-hydroxy-3,4-dimethyl-5-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)benzoate (0.40 g), 1-(chloromethyl)-4-methoxybenzene (0.21 g) and sodium carbonate (0.28 g) in 1,2-dimethoxyethane (6.00 mL)-water (2.00 mL) was added tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) (0.08 g), and the mixture was stirred overnight at 80° C. under argon atmosphere. To the reaction mixture was added water, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was separated, washed with saturated brine, and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (ethyl acetate/hexane) to give the title compound (0.30 g).
