Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of methyl 4-bromo-3-hydroxybenzoate (Combi-Blocks CA-4189, 4.00 g, 17.3 mmol), 2-(trifluoromethyl)phenylboronic acid (3.95 g, 20.8 mmol), cesium fluoride (7.90 g, 52 mmol), palladium(II) acetate (78 mg, 0.35 mmol) and 2-dicyclohexylphosphino-2′,6′-dimethoxybiphenyl (426 mg, 1.05 mmol) was prepared in dioxane (40 mL) and water (20 mL) under N2 atmosphere. The reaction mixture was heated at 90° C. After 90 minutes, additional amounts of 2-(trifluoromethyl)phenylboronic acid (1.90 g, 10 mmol), palladium(II) acetate (78 mg, 0.35 mmol) and 2-dicyclohexylphosphino-2′,6′-dimethoxybiphenyl (426 mg, 1.05 mmol) were added. After 45 additional minutes, additional amounts of 2-(trifluoromethyl)phenylboronic acid (2.7 g, 14.2 mmol), palladium(II) acetate (78 mg, 0.35 mmol) and 2-dicyclohexylphosphino-2′,6′-dimethoxybiphenyl (426 mg, 1.05 mmol) were added. After 15 hours, the reaction mixture was cooled at RT, diluted with MTBE (200 mL), and then washed with water (30 mL) and brine (50 mL). The aqueous layers were extracted with MTBE (100 mL). The organic layers were combined, dried (MgSO4) and concentrated under reduced pressure. After purification by flash chromatography (silica, EtOAc/heptane), the title compound was obtained as a yellow oil (5.03 g containing 12% w/w of DCM). HPLC (Method A), Rt: 3.6 min (purity: 98.8%). UPLC/MS, M+(ESI): 297.0, M−(ESI): 295.0.
