Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-methyl-2-(5-trifluoromethanesulfonyloxy-4′-trifluoromethyl-biphenyl-3-yl)-pentanoic acid ethyl ester, 1 g (250 mg, 0.49 mmol) in toluene (5 mL) in a sealed tube was added racemic-2-(di-t-butylphosphino)-1,1′-binaphthyl (59 mg, 0.15 mmol), Pd(OAc)2 (110 mg, 0.49 mmol), 2-propyl-piperidine hydrogen bromide (152 mg, 0.73 mmol). The system was flushed with nitrogen. To this was added NaOtBu (118 mg, 1.23 mmol) and heated to 100° C. for 3 h. The system was cooled to room temperature and quenched by slow addition of water. The mixture was extracted with EtOAc (3×20 mL). The organic phase was washed with saturated NaHCO3 solution and brine. The organic fraction was dried (MgSO4) and concentrated in vacuo. The crude mixture was purified by ISCO column chromatography to obtain 4-methyl-2-[5-(2-propyl-piperidin-1-yl)-4′-trifluoromethyl-biphenyl-3-yl]-pentanoic acid ethyl ester. Calcd for C29H38F3NO2 (M+H) 490.61, Found 490.4.
