Reaktionsschritte

A mixture of 4-methylbenzeneboronic acid (10 g, 73.5 mmol), 4-bromoanisole (25 g, 134 mmol) and 2M aqueous Na2CO3 (75 mL, 150 mmol) in DMF (350 mL) was passed N2 for 15 min. [1,1′Bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene]dichloropalladium (II), complex with dichloromethane (1:1) (200mg, 0.24 mmol) was added and the mixture was heated at 85° C. for 4 h. After cooling to r.t., the mixture was diluted with H2O and extracted with EtOAc. The EtOAc extract was washed with brine (2×), dried (anhydrous MgSO4) and concentrated. The residue was dissolved in small amount of CH2Cl2, filtered through a short pack (˜2.5”) of silica gel in a 600 mL sintered glass funnel and washed the silica with hexanes:EtOAc (4:1). The filtrate was evaporated. The residue was swished with hexanes to give a white flake. The mother liquor was concentrated and swished again with hexanes. After 4 cycles, the combined yield of title product was 10.5 g (72% based on the boronic acid used.).
