Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5-amino-6-bromo-2-chloro-benzoic acid methyl ester (0.5 g, 1.89 mmol) in dioxane (10 ml) and water (1 ml) was added potassium carbonate (0.784 g, 5.67 mmol), PdCl2(dppf) (0.54 g, 0.189 mmol) and trimethyl boroxine (0.276 ml, 1.985 mmol). The mixture was stirred at 110° C. for 18 hours, then cooled to room temperature and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated to dryness under reduced pressure. Purification of the residue by flash chromatography (hexanes:EtOAc 8:2) gave 0.270 g (71%) of 5-amino-2-chloro-4-methyl-benzoic acid methyl ester as a tan solid.
