Sodium Carbonate → 4'-Chloro-2fluoro-biphenyl-4-carbaldehyde

Participants

Reaction Steps

2-Fluoro-4-formylphenyl boronic acid (263 mg, 1.57 mmol) was added to the mixture of 1-chloro-4-iodobenzene (250 mg, 1.05 mmol), PdCl2(PPh3)2 (36 mg, 0.5 mmol), and disodium carbonate (332 mg, 3.13 mmol) in a solution of water (1 mL) and dioxane (2 mL). The mixture was reacted at 130° C. for 22 min in a microwave reactor. After cooling, water was added, and the mixture was extracted with ethylacetate. The organic solvent was dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated. The residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel, eluting with ethyl acetate in heptane to give the title compound (220 mg, 0.94 mmol, 90%) as a white solid. 1H NMR (D2O) δ 10.02 (s, 1H), 7.75 (d, J=7.8 Hz, 1H), 7.67 (d, J=10.4 Hz, 1H), 7.60 (t, J=7.5 Hz, 1H), 7.53 (d, J=8.3 Hz, 2H), 7.46 (d, J=8.3 Hz, 2H).
