Reaction Steps

A solution of 4-bromo-2,2-dimethyl-5-(pyridin-4-yl)furan-3(2H)-one (0.25 g, 0.93 mmol), 2-((4-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)phenoxy)methyl)quinoline (0.37 g, 1.026 mmol), and Cs2CO3 (1.52 g, 4.664 mmol) in 5:1 toluene/water (12 mL) was degassed. Then, Pd(dppf)Cl2 (152.2 mg, 0.18 mmol) was added under an inert atmosphere and the solution was degassed again. The reaction mixture was then refluxed for 3 h, filtered through a pad of Celite® and the filtrate was diluted with EtOAc (100 mL). The combined organics were washed with water (50 mL) and brine (50 mL), dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo to obtain the crude product. The crude material was purified via silica gel column chromatography to afford 2,2-dimethyl-5-(pyridin-4-yl)-4-(4-(quinolin-2-ylmethoxy)phenyl)furan-3(2H)-one (0.29 g, 74%) as a solid. 1H NMR (500 MHz, CDCl3): δ 8.78 (d, J=7.2 Hz, 1H), 8.56-8.50 (m, 2H), 8.15-8.05 (m, 2H), 7.78-7.72 (m, 1H), 7.63-7.59 (m, 1H), 7.56-7.47 (m, 2H); 7.18-7.09 (m, 2H), 7.02-6.96 (m, 3H), 5.40 (s, 2H), 1.50 (s, 6H). MS: M+H: m/z=423.1. LC-MS: 98%, Column: Eclipse XDB-C18, 150×4.6 mm, Sum. Mobile Phase: 0.1% TFA in Water (A), AcN (B), Flow rate: 1.5 ml/min (Gradient).
