“…The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (petroleum ether−ethyl acetate, gradient 100:00 → 60:40) to obtain 1.45 g (65%) of 43 as a white solid, mp 64.9 °C. 1 (44). The title compound was prepared from compound 43 (336 mg, 1.5 mmol), compound 3e (461 mg, 1.65 mmol), Pd(OAc) 2 (8 mg, 0.04 mmol), BINAP (47 mg, 0.08 mmol), Cs 2 CO 3 (538 mg, 1.65 mmol), and 1,4dioxane (15 mL) using the procedure described for 5a−5f in 77% yield as a yellow solid, mp 131.6 °C.…”
