Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of m-tolylboronic acid (0.164 g; 1.20 mmol), copper acetate (0.219 g; 1.20 mmol), pyridine (0.097 mL; 1.20 mmol) and ethyl 3-hydroxybenzoate (0.100 g; 0.602 mmol) in dichloromethane (5 mL) was stirred at room temperature under nitrogen for 24 hours. The reaction mixture was filtered through celite, concentrated under reduced pressure and the residue purified by column chromatography on silica (eluent 2 to 20% ethyl acetate in heptane) to yield 0.084 g (54%) of the title compound which was used without further purification.
