Sodium Carbonate → 4,5-Dicyclopropyl-3-fluoro-2-hydroxybenzaldehyde

Participants

Reaction Steps

Cyclopropylboronic acid (1.72 g), a 2 M aqueous sodium carbonate solution (13 mL), tris(dibenzylideneacetone)dipalladium(0) (0.611 g), and dicyclohexyl(2′,6′-dimethoxybiphenyl-2-yl)phosphine (0.548 g) were added at room temperature to a toluene (50 mL) solution of 5-bromo-4-cyclopropyl-3-fluoro-2-hydroxybenzaldehyde (1.73 g), and the mixture was stirred at 100 C for 15 hours in an argon atmosphere. Water was added to the reaction mixture at room temperature, and the mixture was filtered through celite. Then, the filtrate was subjected to extraction with ethyl acetate. The obtained organic layer was washed with water and saturated saline in this order and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and then, the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure. The obtained residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane/ethyl acetate) to obtain the title compound (1.31 g)
