Reaction Steps

A solution of 4-bromo-2-phenylbenzoic acid methyl ester (1.0 equivalent), Pd(OAc)2 (0.05 equivalent) and DPPE (1.0 equivalent) is heated in DMF to 65° C. under 4 atm. of carbon monoxide until TLC analysis indicates that the reaction is complete. The reaction mixture is poured into water and extracted with ethyl acetate which is dried and evaporated. The product is purified by chromatography on silica gel.
