Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3 g of benzo[b]furan-2-boronic acid, 3.14 g 2-bromobenzaldehyde, 0.56 g tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)-palladium (0), and 17 ml of 2N aqueous sodium carbonate in 50 ml of a 9:1 mixture of toluene-ethanol, under a nitrogen atmosphere, was heated to 100° C. for 10 h. The mixture was cooled to room temperature, diluted with 100 ml of methylene chloride and washed with 50 ml of 5% sodium bicarbonate containing 5 ml of 0.880 ammonia. The organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate and evaporated to dryness under reduced pressure to give 2-(benzo[b]furan-2-yl)benzaldehyde as a brown gum, GC-M.S. (E.I.) (M/Z): 222 [M+ ].
