Reaction Steps

A mixture of methyl 4-bromobenzoate (21.5 g, 100 mmol), 4-fluorophenylboronic acid (14.7 g, 105 mmol), Pd(dppf)Cl2.CH2Cl2 (1.48 g, 2.0 mmol), and 2M Na2CO3 (100 mL) in toluene (200 mL) and was heated to reflux, stirred for 10 hours, diluted with ethyl acetate (200 mL), washed with water (100 mL) and brine (50 mL), dried (MgSO4), filtered, and concentrated. The concentrate was recrystallized from ethyl acetate/hexanes to provide the desired product. The mother liquor was concentrated and purified by flash column chromatography on silica gel with 10% ethyl acetate/hexanes to provide additional product. MS (DCI) m/e 231 (M+H)+.
