Procedure

A mixture of 4-bromo-2-(trifluoromethyl)benzaldehyde (9 g), 2-cyano-phenylboric acid (9.5 g), [1,1′-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene]dichloropalladium (2.9 g), tetrabutylammonium bromide (1.15 g), 2M aqueous sodium carbonate solution (30 mL) and toluene (100 mL) was stirred at 100° C. overnight under an argon atmosphere. The reaction mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate, washed with saturated brine, and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure, and the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography to give the title compound as a colorless solid (3.2 g, 32%).
