Reaction Steps

To a solution of tert-butyl 4-bromo-2-chlorobenzoate (1.0 g, 3.43 mmol) and 4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-2-(prop-1-en-2-yl)-1,3,2-dioxaborolane (588 mg, 3.50 mmol) in 1,4-dioxane (40 mL) and water (10 mL) were added sodium carbonate (742 mg, 7.0 mmol) and tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium (40 mg, 0.035 mmol). The resultant reaction mixture was stirred at 90° C. overnight under nitrogen atmosphere. After being cooled to room temperature, the reaction mixture was concentrated. The residue was purified by pre-HPLC to get tert-butyl 2-chloro-4-(prop-1-en-2-yl)benzoate (800 mg, 92.3%) as a yellow oil. LRMS (M+H+) m/z: calcd 253.09. found 253.
