Reaction Steps

331 mg of phenylboronic acid (2.72 mmol), 50.3 mg of 1,1′-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocenepalladium chloride (C35H30Cl4FeP2Pd, MW 816.65, 0.025 mmol) and 3.22 g of caesium carbonate (9.87 mmol) are introduced into a 100 mL round-bottomed flask, with stirring and under an argon atmosphere, containing 16 mL of water, 5 mL of dioxane and 1 g of 34 (2.47 mmol). The medium is heated at 100° C., with stirring, for 1 h. The dioxane is concentrated and the aqueous phase is acidified to pH 2-3, extracted twice with 50 ml of AcOEt. The combined organic phases are dried over MgSO4, filtered and evaporated to dryness. The crude product is chromatographed on a silica cartridge (150 g, eluent CH2Cl2/MeOH, in an MeOH gradient: 1 to 5%). 500 mg of expected product 35 (yellow oil) are recovered.
