Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a degassed (argon) solution of 3-bromo-5-(tert-butyl)-2-(methoxymethoxy)benzaldehyde (4.0 g, 13.3 mmol) and 2-(trifluoromethyl)pyridine-5-boronic acid [purchased from Frontier Scientific] (2.79 g, 14.6 mmol) in 2M aqueous sodium carbonate solution (26.7 mL, 53.2 mmol) and dimethoxy ethane (80 mL) was added tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) (770 mg, 0.665 mmol), the mixture was degassed for five minutes and then heated at 80° C. for 16 hours. The cooled reaction mixture was partitioned between ethyl acetate and saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution. The organic phase was separated, dried (Na2SO4), filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure to give an orange syrup. The product was purified using flash chromatography on silica eluting with a solvent gradient of 0 to 100% ethyl acetate in hexanes to give the 5-(tert-butyl)-2-(methoxymethoxy)-3-(6-(trifluoromethyl)pyridin-3-yl)benzaldehyde (3.7 g, 76% yield) as a grey-green solid.
