Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirring solution of 4-iodobenzoic acid methyl ester (5 g, 0.0019 mol), sodium carbonate (4.04 g, 0.038 mol) and Palladium acetate (4.2 mg, 0.00019 mol) in methanol (30 mL), was added 2-methylmercapto phenyl boronic acid (3.53 g, 0.02 mol) in one lot at 25-30° C. After reflux of 30 min., reaction mixture was poured in ice cold water (100 mL) and product was extracted in ethyl acetate (250 mL). Column purification (100-200 mesh silica gel, 5% hexane in ethyl acetate) gave 4 g of titled product in 81% yield.
