Reaction Steps

Methyl 5-bromosalicylate (5 g, 21.6 mmol), 4-(trifluoromethoxy)phenylboronic acid (4.43 g, 21.6 mmol), potassium carbonate (10 g) and [1,1′-Bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene]dichloropalladium(II) (800 mg, 1.09 mmol) were combined in 10 mL DMF. 5 mL water was added and the mixture was stirred at 50° C. for 60 minutes. The reaction mixture was diluted with 300 mL ethyl acetate, washed with water and brine and evaporated under vacuum. Flash chromatographic purification on 120 g silica gel with 0-100% ethyl acetate in hexane gave methyl 4-hydroxy-4′-(trifluoromethoxy)-[1,1′-biphenyl]-3-carboxylate (5.7 g, 18.3 mmol).
