Cesium fluoride → HCID 67080432, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred suspension of ethyl 7-(4-(4-bromophenethylcarbamoyl)phenoxy)-6-chlorochroman-4-carboxylate (0.56 g, 1.0 mmol) and 2-chlorophenylboronic acid (0.17 g, 1.1 mmol) in a mixture of 1,2-dimethoxyethane (4 mL) and methanol (2 mL) was added cesium fluoride (0.30 g, 2.0 mmol), followed by tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) (0.035 g, 0.03 mmol). The resulting mixture was stirred in an oil bath set to 80° C. for 1 hour. The mixture was cooled to ambient temperature and diluted with water (20 mL) and extracted with dichloromethane (2×20 mL). The organic layers were combined and dried over sodium sulfate, then concentrated. The residue was purified by chromatography on silica gel, eluting with 80/20 hexanes/ethyl acetate, to afford ethyl 6-chloro-7-(4-(2-(2′-chlorobiphenyl-4-yl)ethylcarbamoyl)phenoxy)chroman-4-carboxylate as a light brown oil (0.35 g, 59% yield).
