Reaction Steps

The ethyl 7-iodo-2-(trifluoromethyl)-2H-chromene-3-carboxylate from Example 9a, Step 2 (2.0 g, 5.02 mmol), 2-furylboronic acid (0.62 g, 5.52 mmol), K2CO3 (2.08 g, 15.06 mmol), and PdCl2(PPh3)2 (106 mg, 0.15 mmol) were mixed in dioxane (20 mL) in a sterling bomb. Carbon monoxide was bubbling to 40 psi. The reaction was heated to 80° C. for 12 h. After filtration, the reaction was quenched with NH4Cl and extracted with EtOAc. The organic layer was washed and dried over MgSO4. The filtrate was evaporated and dried in vacuo to afford crude which was purified Biotage Chromatography with 10 to 20% ethyl acetate in hexane to give yellow solid (350 mg, 21%): LCMS m/z 339.05 (M+H). 1H NMR (CDCl3/300 MHz) 7.74 (s, 1H), 7.51 (s, 1H), 8.97 (m, 3H), 6.76 (d, 1H, J=3.3 Hz), 6.51 (m, 1H), 5.73 (q, 1H, J=6.9 Hz), 4.34 (m,2H), 1.36 (t, 3H, J=7.2 Hz).
