1,2-Dimethoxyethane → HCID 57597488, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of ethyl 2-bromobenzoic acid (10.0 g) and 3-acetylphenylboric acid (7.87 g) in dimethoxyethane (200 ml) was added 2 N sodium carbonate solution (50 ml), and the mixture was deaerated and argon-substituted. To this mixture was added tetrakis(triphenylphosphine) palladium (0) (5.04 g), and the mixture was heated to reflux for 15 hours. The obtained reaction mixture was subjected to cooling, and distributed between ethyl acetate (400 ml) and saturated sodium bicarbonate solution (400 ml). The aqueous layer was further extracted with ethyl acetate (200 ml), and the combined organic layer was washed with saturated brine, dried with magnesium sulfate, and the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel chromatography to give the title compound as a yellow oil (11.08 g, 95%).
