After 15 min. 3-chlorophenylboronic acid (0.63 g, 4.0 mmol) and sodium carbonate (1.06 g, 10 mmol) in water (11 cm3) were added and the mixture heated under reflux. After 16 h, the mixture was cooled, poured into water and extracted with EtOAc (×3). The combined organic layers were washed with sodium hydroxide (1N, ×2), brine, dried (MgSO4) and evaporated. The residue was subjected to column chromatography (SiO2, EtOAc:hexane, gradient elution) and the product triturated with hexane to afford the title compound (0.095 g, 0.30 mmol, 15%) as a solid: mp.>190° C.
