Reaction Steps

1,4-Dioxane (8 ml) was added to 1,4-dibromobenzene (176 mg), t-butyl N-[(3R)-5-oxopyrrolidin-3-yl]carbamate (100 mg), tris(dibenzylideneacetone)dipalladium(0) (23 mg), 4,5-bis(diphenylphosphino)-9,9-dimethylxanthene (29 mg), and cesium carbonate (244 mg), and the mixture was stirred at 90° C. for 1 hour under an argon atmosphere and then further heated to reflux for 1 hour. Dichloromethane and water were added to the reaction solution to separate the aqueous and organic layers. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and then concentrated under reduced pressure. The obtained residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (n-hexane-ethyl acetate) to obtain the title compound (24 mg).
