Cesium carbonate → HCID 59300715, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

The phenol (7.5) (400 mg, 1.02 mmol) and 3-(bromomethyl)phenylboronic acid (219 mg, 1.02 mmol) were dissolved in DMF (10 mL). Cesium carbonate (664 mg, 2.04 mmol) was added to the mixture, and the slurry was stirred for 48 hours. The reaction was then diluted with water and extracted with EtOAc (2×100 mL). The organic layers were combined and washed with a 1 M lithium chloride solution (1×50 mL) and brine (1×50 mL), and dried over magnesium sulfate. The filtrate was concentrated, and the residue was purified by medium pressure chromatography (silica gel, 30 to 100% EtOAc:hexanes) to give 34.1 (95.0 mg). MS ESI (pos.) m/e: 527.2 (M+H).
