Potassium Carbonate → 4-Bromo-5-(1-methoxyimino-indan-5-yl)-furan-2-carbaldehyde

Participants

Reaction Steps

A degassed mixture of the product of Step 3 (6.6 g, 26.0 mmol), 1-methoxyimino-indan-5-boronic acid (5.3 g, 26.0 mmol) and potasium carbonate (28 g, 202 mmol) in ethylene glycol dimethyl ether (150 ml) and water (75 ml) was treated with bis(triphenylphosphine) palladium (II) chloride (1.05 g, 1.5 mmol), then heated under reflux for 6 hours. After cooling to room temperature, the mixture was filtered through celite and the filtrate diluted with water and ethyl acetate. The organic phase was separated, washed with water and brine, dried, concentrated in vacuo and the residue purified by silica gel chromatography eluting with dichloromethane to give the title compound (3.06 g, 35%); MS(ES+) m/e 334/336 [M+H]+.
