1,2-Dimethoxyethane → 2',4'-Dichloro-4-hydroxy[1,1'-biphenyl]-3-carbaldehyde

To a mixture of 5-bromosalicyaldehyde (30.0 g, 0.15 mol), 2,4-dichlorophenylboronic acid (32.0 g, 0.17 mol) and sodium carbonate (24.0 g, 0.23 mol) is added 1,2-dimethoxyethane (225 ml) and distilled water (75 ml), and the suspension is stirred under a nitrogen atmosphere. To this mixture is then added [1,1′-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene]palladium(II)chloride (4.5 g, 7.5 mmol), followed by heating at reflux overnight. After cooling to room temperature and dilution with distilled water (500 ml) and dichloromethane (500 ml), the two phases are separated, and the aqueous phase extracted again with dichloromethane (2×500 ml). Organic fractions are combined, washed with brine (800 ml) then dried over magnesium sulphate. The suspension is filtered and the filtrate concentrated in vacuo. Then crude material is finally purified by flash column purification (10% ethyl acetate in isohexane eluant) to afford 2′,4′-dichloro-4-hydroxybiphenyl-3-carbaldehyde (32.73 g, 82%) as a pale yellow solid.
