Reaction Steps

0.05 M benzylzinc(II) bromide (385 μL), tris(dibenzylideneacetone)dipalladium(0) (8.0 mg) and tri(2-furyl)phosphine (15 mg) were added to a solution of (5R)-5-[(E)-2-(5-bromo-6-methoxypyridin-2-yl)-2-(4-tert-butylphenyl)ethenyl]pyrrolidin-2-one obtained in Reference Example 4-42(2) (30 mg) in tetrahydrofuran (2 mL), and the mixture was stirred under microwave irradiation at 110° C. for one hour. An ammonium chloride solution was added to the reaction solution, followed by extraction with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate and then the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane:ethyl acetate=1:1→1:0) to give (5R)-5-[(E)-2-(5-benzyl-6-methoxypyridin-2-yl)-2-(4-tert-butylphenyl)ethenyl]pyrrolidin-2-one (23 mg).
