Hydrazine hydrate (1:1) → HCID 58239597, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

21.5 g (77.2 mmol) of sodium metaborate octahydrate, 0.700 g (977 mmol) of bis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(II) chloride, 0.1 ml (2 mmol) of hydrazine hydrate and 10.0 g (42.3 mmol) of 3-(3-bromophenyl)propionic acid are initially introduced in 10 ml of tetrahydrofuran and 30 ml of water, and a solution of 10.0 g (43.9 mmol) of 3-benzyloxy-benzeneboronic acid in 30 ml of THF is added. The batch is subsequently heated under reflux overnight, added to water and extracted three times with MTB ether. The combined org. phases are filtered through silica gel with heptane/ethyl acetate (1:1), and the crude product is recrystallised from toluene, giving 3-(3′-benzyloxybiphenyl-3-yl)propionic acid as a colourless solid.
