Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 174B (10.0 g, 44.0 mmol), bromobenzene (4.6 mL, 44.0 mmol), (S)-(−)-2,2′-Bis(diphenylphosphino)-1,1′-binaphthyl (2.06 g, 3.30 mmol), and toluene (250 mL) was added cesium carbonate (20.0 g, 44.0 mmol) followed by palladium(II) acetate (0.494 g, 2.20 mmol). The mixture was heated at 90° C. for 24 h. HPLC indicated that the reaction was complete. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature, and filtered under reduced pressure through a pad of Celite topped with a pad of silica gel, and the Celite/Silica gel pad was rinsed with EtOAc. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure and purified by silica gel chromatography using a 1:10 mixture of EtOAc and hexane to give 10.7 g (80%) of compound 174C as a pale yellow solid. HPLC retention time=3.72 min. (Condition A). 1H-NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 3.89 (s, 3H), 3.93 (s, 3H), 7.12 (m, 1H), 7.22 (m, 2H), 7.37 (m, 2H), 7.74 (m, 2H), and 9.22 (br s, 1H).
