Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1-(3-bromo-phenyl)-ethanone (4.9 g, 24 mmol), 4-trifluoromethyl phenyl boronic acid (4.6 g, 24 mmol), tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) (1.4 g, 1.2 mmol), potassium phosphate (10 g, 49 mmol), 1,2-dimethoxyethane (50 mL) and water (10 mL) was heated to 80° C. under a blanket of nitrogen in a sealed tube. After 5 h, the mixture was partitioned between water (50 mL) and ethyl acetate (50 mL). The aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate (3×50 mL). The combined organic layers were dried (MgSO4), filtered, and concentrated. The residue was purified directly by FCC to afford a clear oil (5.6 g, 87%). MS (ESI): mass calcd. for C15H11F3O, 264.0; m/z found, 265.1 [M+H]+. 1H NMR (500 MHz, CDCl3) δ 8.21 (t, J=1.6, 1H), 8.04-7.98 (m, 1H), 7.85-7.78 (m, 1H), 7.76-7.69 (m, 4H), 7.60 (t, J=7.7, 1H), 2.68 (s, 3H).
