Reaktionsschritte

To a solution of 2-bromo-4-chloro-toluene (20.5 g) in toluene (100 mL) was added Pd(PPh3)4 (1 g) and the mixture was stirred at room temperature under N2 for 0.25 hours. A 2M solution of Na2CO3 (100 mL) was then added, followed by the dropwise addition of 4-trifluoromethylphenyl boronic acid (19 g) in MeOH (100 mL). The resulting mixture was heated under reflux for 48 hours. The mixture was then cooled to room temperature and the phases were separated. The organic layer was then dried over Na2SO4, filtered and evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by flash chromatography eluting with petroleum ether/AcOEt (90/10) to give the title compound (25.3 g) as a colorless liquid.
