Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

4-Bromo-2-chlorobenzoic acid (1.1 g) and 5-fluoro-2-methoxyphenylboronic acid (0.94 g) were suspended in toluene (20 mL) and ethanol (20 mL). Aqueous 2M sodium carbonate solution (16 mL) and tetrakis(triphenylphosphine) palladium(0) (0.14 g) were added and the reaction was heated at 95° C. for 20 h. The mixture was diluted with water, extracted with diethyl ether (discarded). The aqueous layer was acidified with aqueous 2M hydrochloric acid, extracted with ethyl acetate, dried (MgSO4) and concentrated under reduced pressure to give the sub titled product as a cream solid (1.25 g).
