Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 0.94 g (4.58 mmol) of ethyl-3-bromobenzoate in 14.5 Ml of toluene at RT was added 0.25 g (0.218 mmol) of tetrakis(triphenylphosphine) palladium(0), 0.94 g (4.58 mmol) of 2-trifluoromethoxyphenylboronic acid, 2.22 Ml (4.45 mmol) of 2M aqueous sodium carbonate solution and 7 Ml of ethanol. The reaction mixture was heated at reflux for 18 h. The reaction mixture was cooled and diluted with ethyl acetate and water. The organic fraction was separated and washed with saturated NaCl solution (brine), dried over MgSO4, filtered and the filtrate was concentrated to an oil which was purified by chromatography (silica, 1%, 5%, 30% successively ethyl acetate:hexanes) to give the title compound. 1H NMR (CD3OD) (δ, ppm): 8.02 (s, 1H), 7.97 (dd, J=7.8, 1.2 Hz, 1H), 7.60 (dd, J=7.7, 1.3 Hz, 1H), 7.50-7.33 (m, 5H), 4.31(q, 2H), 1.31(t, 3H). Mass Spectrum (ESI) m/e (M+1): 311.2.
