Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of Cu(OAc)2 (3.0 mmol; 543 mg), 4-(methanesulphonyl)benzeneboronic acid (4.0 mmol; 800 mg) and activated molecular sieves (800 mg) under air, in anhydrous dichloromethane (5 mL), were added 2-methoxy-4-ethylphenol (2.0 mmol; 0.28 mL), anhydrous triethylamine (10 mmol; 1.4 mL), and anhydrous pyridine (10 mmol; 0.8 mL). The reaction was stirred for 2 days at room temperature. The crude was filtered on silica gel, washed with ethyl acetate, concentrated. The residue was then purified by column chromatography (gradient cyclohexane/dichloromethane) to yield the title compound as clear oil (617 mg; 2.0 mmol; quantitative).
