2-Bromo-1,3-difluoro-4-nitrobenzene → 1,3-Difluoro-4-nitro-2-vinylbenzene

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 2-bromo-1,3-difluoro-4-nitrobenzene (0.20 g, 0.84 mmol), tributylvinylstannane (0.27 mL, 0.924 mmol) and Pd(PPh3)4 (48.6 mg, 0.042 mmol) in dioxane (4 mL) was heated at 150° C. for 1 h using microwave irradiation. The cooled reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo, the resulting residue was purified by column chromatography (Si—PCC, eluant 2-10% EtOAc in cyclohexane) affording the title compound as a pale orange oil (0.119 g, 77%). 1H NMR (CDCl3, 300 MHz): 8.01-7.93 (1H, m), 7.03 (1H, dt, J=9.2, 1.9 Hz), 6.71 (1H, dd, J=18.0, 12.0 Hz), 6.15 (1H, d, J=18.0 Hz), 5.77 (1H, d, J=12.0 Hz)
