Participants

Reaction Steps

13 (29 mg, 0.12 mmol, 1.0 equiv.) and 4-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-[1,3,2]dioxaborolan-2-yl)-1-(2,4,6-trimethylbenzensulfonyl)-1H-pyrrole-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester (52 mg, 0.12 mmol, 1.0 equiv.) were dissolved in benzene (1.2 mL). After adding aqueous Na2CO3 (0.2 mL), Pd(PPh3)4 (28 mg, 0.024 mol, 0.2 equiv.) was then added and the resulting mixture was refluxed for 16 hours. The reaction mixture was dissolved in ethyl acetate and washed with water. After drying the organic layer over Na2SO4, the solvent was removed under reduced pressure. The crude product 14 was used without further purification (100 mg, HPLC Rt=7.005 minutes, ES+ 475.4, ES− not observed).
