Procedure

A mixture of methyl 3-[(acetyloxy)methyl]-4-bromobenzoate (4.7 g; 16.4 mmol; 1 eq.), o-tolylboronic acid (2.45 g; 18 mmol; 1.1 eq.), potassium carbonate (11.3 g; 82 mmol; 5 eq.) and Pd(PPh3)4 (1.89 g; 1.64 mmol; 0.1 eq.) in toluene (23.5 mL) and water (23.5 mL) was refluxed for 2 hours. After cooling to room temperature, the reaction mixture was filtered through a pad of Celite® which was further washed with toluene (50 mL). The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo, the residue taken up in ethyl acetate (250 mL) and washed with sat. aq. NaHCO3 (100 mL), water (100 mL) and brine (100 mL), dried over magnesium sulphate and concentrated in vacuo to afford the title compound (4.9 g, 100%) as a brown oil.
