Procedure

(3-Benzyloxy-5-bromo-phenyl)-acetic acid ethyl ester (2.50 g, 7.2 mmol) was added to a solution of 4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl boronic acid (1.5 g, 8.0 mmol) and K2CO3 (14.4 mmol, 2 M aq.) in DME (25 mL). Nitrogen was bubbled through the reaction mixture for 10 minutes before addition of tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) (10% wt) and the resultant mixture was heated to 80° C. for 4 hours under inert atmosphere. The reaction mixture was diluted with water and extracted with EtOAc (×3). The combined organic extracts were washed with sat. Na2CO3, brine, dried (MgSO4), filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by flash column chromatography (EtOAc:petroleum ether) to give (5-benzyloxy-4′trifluoromethyl-biphenyl-3-yl)-acetic acid ethyl ester (2.2 g) as a colourless gum in 74% yield. 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ 7.59-7.54 (m, 2H), 7.48-7.30 (m, 8H), 7.13-7.11 (m, 2H), 6.94-6.91 (m, 1H), 5.12 (s, 2H), 4.16 (q, 2H), 3.64 (s, 2H), 1.27 (t, 3H).
