Procedure: The title compound was prepared from N-[5-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)-2,3-dihydro-1H-inden-2-yl]-2-propanesulfonamide and (3-bromophenyl)methyl methyl sulfone in a similar manner to Example 16.

Conditions: temp:0.00; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: A solution of 3-bromobenzyl bromide (5.0 g, 20 mmol) in dry dimethylformamide (50 ml) at room temperature under an atmosphere of argon was treated portionwise with sodium methanesulfinate (2.0 g, 20 mmol) with stirring. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 16 h, and then at 50° C. for 0.5 h. The reaction mix was allowed to cool to room temperature and then partitioned between ethyl acetate and water. The organic layer was separated and dried over sodium sulfate and the solvent removed under reduced pressure to give an oil which was purified by column chromatography on a 50 g isolute silica sep-pak column eluting from 0-100% ethyl acetate in petroleum ether to give the title compound as an off-white solid (3.34 g, 67%). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 16 h The reaction mix partitioned between ethyl acetate and water The organic layer was separated dried over sodium sulfate the solvent removed under reduced pressure to give an oil which was purified by column chromatography on a 50 g isolute silica sep-pak column eluting from 0-100% ethyl acetate in petroleum ether
