Reaction Steps

2.25 g (0.01 mol) of 7-bromo-2-methyl-1-indanone (2), 1.74 g (0.011 mol) of 3,5-difluorophenylboronic acid and 2.33 g (0.022 mol) of sodium carbonate were placed in 38 ml of dimethoxyethane and 12 ml of water in the reaction vessel, the mixture was degassed a number of times and saturated with argon. 45 mg (0.2 mmol) of palladium acetate and 0.1 g (0.4 mmol) of triphenylphosphine (TPP) were added and the reaction mixture was stirred for 2 hours at 80° C. After addition of 50 ml of water, the mixture was extracted 3 times with 30 ml each time of diethyl ether, the ether phase was washed twice with water and dried over magnesium sulfate. Removal of the solvent gave 2.4 g of 2-methyl-7-(3,5-difluorophenyl)-1-indanone as solid.
