Experimental Procedure for the Synthesis of 19 and 20: To a degassed solution of 10 (300 mg, 0.64 mmol) and n-Bu₄NOAc (484 mg, 1.60 mmol) in DMF/CH₃CN/H₂O (5:5:1) (10 mL) was added under a nitrogen atmosphere trans-di(µ-acetato)-bis[o-(di-o-tolylphosphino)-benzyl]dipalladium(II) (12 mg, 2 mol%) and the mixture was stirred at 120 °C under reflux for 4 h. After cooling, H₂O (40 mL) was added; the resulting mixture was extracted with Et₂O (3 × 25 mL), washed with brine, dried over MgSO₄ and concentrated in vacuo. Purification by column chromatography (silica gel, CH₂Cl₂/petrol ether = 6/4) and repeated chromatography using AgNO₃-coated silica gel (CH₂Cl₂) afforded 149 mg (60%) of 19 as a colorless oil and 35 mg (14%) of 20 as white crystals.
