Reaction Steps

Preparation H3, Step 1: Ethyl 3-iodobenzoate (0.92 g, 3.34 mmol, 1 eq.), phenylboronic acid (0.87 g, 5.02 mmol, 1.5 eq.), palladium(II)acetate (37 mg, 0.167 mmol, 0.05 eq.) and sodium carbonate (706 mg, 6.66 mmol, 2 eq.) were dissolved in DMF (20 mL) at room temperature under nitrogen. The reaction was then heated at 80° C. for 1.5 hours. Worked up by adding ethyl acetate and rinsing 4 times with water. The organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate and stripped to give a dark oil. Purified over silica gel in 9:1 to 1:1 hexanes/ethyl acetate to obtain 3′-Amino-[1,1′-biphenyl]-3-carboxylic acid, ethyl ester (420 mg) as an oil. Yield=55%. LCMS detects (M+H)+=242.41.
