Potassium Phosphate, Tribasic → 1-(4,4-Diethylcyclohex-1-enyl)-4-methoxy-2-nitrobenzene

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4-bromo-3-nitroanisole (2 g, 8.62 mmol), 2-(4,4-diethylcyclohex-1-enyl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-[1,3,2]dioxaborolane (2.7 g, 10.3 mmol) prepared in Example (6c), tripotassium phosphate (2.7 g, 13.0 mmol) and 1,2-dimethoxyethane (20 mL) was stirred at room temperature under a nitrogen atmosphere, and then tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) (0.5 g, 0.43 mmol) was added. The mixture was then stirred at an external temperature of 80° C. for 26 hours.
