Reaction Steps

A solution of commercial 1-(benzyloxy)-4-bromobenzene (104 g, 395 mmol) and commercial tert-butyl 4-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)-5,6-dihydropyridine-1(2H)-carboxylate (147 g, 474 mmol) in 1100 mL of acetonitrile was purged with nitrogen for 2 min. Water (1100 mL) was added, followed by sodium carbonate (126 g, 1186 mmol) and tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium (27.4 g, 23.7 mmol). The reaction mixture was purged with nitrogen for 5 min, and then heated to 90° C. and stirred for 16 h. The reaction mixture was then allowed to cool to rt and diluted with 1 L of ethyl acetate. The layers were separated, and the aqueous layer was extracted with two additional 250 mL portions of ethyl acetate. The organic layers were combined, washed with 200 mL of brine, dried over sodium sulfate, and evaporated in vacuo to provide an off-white solid. The product was purified by silica gel chromatography eluting with 6% ethyl acetate in petroleum ether to provide 129 g (88%) of the desired product. LC/MS RT (conditions A)=2.732 min, (M−H)+=364.0. 1H NMR (300 MHz, chloroform-d) δ 7.49-7.30 (m, 5H), 7.27 (d, J=10.7 Hz, 2H), 6.99-6.87 (m, 2H), 6.03-5.87 (m, 1H), 5.07 (s, 2H), 4.05 (d, J=2.6 Hz, 2H), 3.62 (t, J=5.7 Hz, 2H), 2.49 (br. s., 2H), 1.49 (s, 9H).
