Conditions

Temperature: 100 °C

Procedure

Nitrogen (gas) was bubbled through the solution of methyl 3-bromobenzoate (50 mg, 0.233 mmol), potassium carbonate (96 mg, 0.698 mmol) and 3-thiopheneboronic acid (59.5 mg, 0.465 mmol) in dioxane (2 mL) and Water (0.2 mL) for 5 minutes. tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) (26.9 mg, 0.023 mmol) was added and again nitrogen was bubbled through the solution for 5 minutes. The reaction mixture was heated overnight at 100° C. and concentrated to dryness. Purified by chromatography (20% EtOAc in heptane) gave compound methyl 3-(thiophen-3-yl)benzoate 82 (50 mg, 99%). (m/z)=219 (M+H)+.
