21. The rate of the Stille coupling reaction is solvent dependent and is known to be in the order: NMP > MeCN > THF: Scott, W. J.; Stille, J. K. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1986, 108, 3033. Farina, V.; Krishnan, B. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1991, 113, 9585. The conversion of 23 into 25 in refluxing THF required 39 hours to afford an 83% yield of the product. Use of warm (70 °C) NMP provided 25 in quantitative yield in less than 1 hour.
