Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-(triisopropylsilyl)pyrrole-3-boronic acid (prepared according to the method of Alvarez, A.; Guzman, A.; Ruiz, A.; Velarde, E., J. Org. Chem. 1992, 57, 1653-1656) (6.12 g, 22.9 mmol) in anhydrous dimethoxyethane (76 mL) is added methyl 4-iodobenzoate (96.61 g, 25.2 mmol), dichlorobis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(II) (0.484 g, 0.69 mmol) and cesium fluoride (6.96 g, 45.8 mmol). The mixture is heated at reflux under a nitrogen atmosphere for 17 h. The reaction mixture is cooled to room temperature, diluted with water (100 mL) and extracted with ethyl acetate (4×25 mL). The extract is washed with water, dried over MgSO4 and concentrated to give the crude product. The product is purified by silica gel chromatography (5-15% ethyl acetate/hexane) to give 2.69 g of methyl 4-(1H-pyrrol-3-yl)-benzoate as a white solid (58% yield). 1H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-d6): δ 3.83 (s, 3H), 6.53 (m, 1H), 6.83 (m, 1H), 7.35 (m, 1H), 7.66 (d, 2H, J=8.4 Hz), 7.86 (d, 2H, J=8.4 Hz), 11.11 (br s, 1H).
