4-(Trifluoromethyl)phenylboronic acid → 5-(4-Trifluoromethyl-benzylidene)-10,11-dihydro-5H-dibenzo[a,d]cycloheptene

Participants

Reaction Steps

Combine 5-bromomethylene-10,11-dihydro-5H-dibenzo[a,d]cycloheptene (0.5 g, 1.75 mmol) and 4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl boronic acid (0.33 g, 1.75 mmol using procedures essentially as described in Example 219, below. Pass through a plug of silica gel equilibrated with hexanes. Concentrate the filtrate to give the title product: MS (m/e): 350 (M+). HPLC (ISO80-10M)) t=17.32 min.
