Reaction Steps

A solution of ethyl 3-aminobenzoate (0.300 g; 1.82 mmol), 3-(trifluoromethyl)phenylboronic acid (0.690 g; 3.63 mmol), copper acetate (0.660 g, 3.63 mmol) and pyridine (0.293 mL, 3.63 mmol) in dichloromethane (3 mL) was stirred at room temperature for 18 hours and filtered through celite and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was dissolved in water and extracted with ethyl acetate (2×200 mL). The organic layers were washed with brine, dried and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude material was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel (eluent 5 to 40% ethyl acetate in heptane) to afford 0.334 g (60%) of ethyl 3-(3-(trifluoromethyl)phenylamino)benzoate.
