Reaktionsschritte

A mixture of 3-bromo-6-hydroxy-4-methoxy-benzaldehyde (2 g, 8.66 mmol), (3,5,5,8,8-pentamethyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydronaphthalen-2-yl) boronic acid (3.18 g, 12.99 mmol), potassium carbonate (4.79 g, 34.63 mmol) and water (4 mL) in anhydrous 1,2-dimethoxyethane (140 mL) was degassed with argon for 15 minutes prior to the addition of tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) (2.0 g, 1.73 mmol). The reaction mixture was heated under reflux for 15 hours, allowed to cool to room temperature and extracted with ethyl acetate (2×100 mL). The organic extracts were successively washed with water (100 mL), a saturated aqueous solution of NH4Cl (100 mL), a saturated aqueous solution of NaCl (100 mL), dried over MgSO4 and filtered. Removal of the solvent under reduced pressure gave an oil which was purified by column chromatography, using a Biotage 40M cartridge, eluting with 5% ethyl acetate/95% hexane, to give 3-(3,5,5,8,8-pentamethyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-2-naphthyl)-4-methoxy-6-hydroxybenzaldehyde as a white solid (2.2 g, 73%).
