Procedure: To a mixture of the product from Step 1, -bromo-4-iodo-2-methoxybenzene (750 mg, 2.4 mmol), CsF (1.09 g, 7.2 mmol), (2-amino-4-cyanophenyl)boronic acid hydrochloride (390 mg, 2.4 mmol), and Pd(PPh3)4 (277 mg, 0.24 mmol) was added DME (15 mL) under nitrogen. It was then heated to 100° C. After 36 hours, EtOAc and water were added to the resulting thick red suspension. The organic layer was washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4, and the solvent was removed in vacuo. The residue was purified on silica (gradient elution, 3-50% EtOAc/hexanes) to yield the title compound as a red oil. LRMS (M+H)+=303.1. The organic layer was washed with brine dried over Na2SO4 the solvent was removed in vacuo The residue was purified on silica (gradient elution, 3-50% EtOAc/hexanes)

Hasvold et al., US 2004/0254159, EXAMPLE 57B) (33.45 g, 107 mmol) in MeCN (100 mL) was added acrylic acid (9.61 g, 133 mmol), Et3N (37.2 mL, 267 mmol) and palladium acetate (719 mg, 3.2 mmol). The reaction mixture was heated to 90° C. for 40 minutes, cooled to RT and poured into 2.4-L 1 M HCl. After stirring for 30 minutes, the solid was filtered, suspended in EtOH (230 mL) heated to reflux and allowed to cool to RT with stirring overnight.
