Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-bromo-3-fluoro-5-methoxybenzene (15 g, 73.16 mmol), tris(2-methylphenyl)phosphane (1.781 g, 5.85 mmol) and ethyl acrylate (11.90 mL, 109.74 mmol) in TEA (135 mL) was added palladium(II) acetate (0.329 g, 1.46 mmol) at room temperature under nitrogen atmosphere, and the mixture was stirred at 90° C. for 2 days. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure, the residue was diluted with water, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with water and brine, and dried over magnesium sulfate, and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The obtained residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography to give ethyl (E)-3-(3-fluoro-5-methoxyphenyl)acrylate (14.2 g, 63.3 mmol, 87%) as a colorless oil.
