Reaction Steps

A mixture of ethyl 5-bromo-benzofuran-2-carboxylate 15 (2.5 g, 9.3 mmole), benzeneboronic acid (1.25 g, 10.2 mmole), tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium (0) (118 mg), sodium carbonate (3.25 g, 30.6 mmole) in water (25ml), and dioxane (25 ml) was stirred under an argon atmosphere and heated to 100° C. for 16 hrs. The white heterogeneous mass was acidified with 1M HCl, extracted, washed, dried, and evaporated, to give about 2.2 g of 5-phenyl-benzofuran-2-carboxylic acid 16 mp. 218-220° C.
