Reaction Steps

A mixture of compound ethyl 2-(3-chloro-5-(cyclopropylmethoxy)-4-iodophenyl)acetate (5.1 g, 14 mmol), 4-trifluoromethylphenylboronic acid (3.36 g, 17 mmol), CsF (0.28 g, 1.84 mmol) and Pd (PPh3)4 (0.410 g, 0.4 mmol) in 75 mL anhydrous 1,2-dimethoxy ethane was refluxed for 8 h under argon. The reaction mixture was cooled to RT and 75 mL of EtOAc and 75 mL of water were added. The organic phase was separated, dried over NaSO4, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure to give a yellow oil. The oil was purified by chromatography over silica gel (hexane/EtOAc) to give ethyl 2-(2-chloro-6-(cyclopropylmethoxy)-4′-(trifluoromethyl)biphenyl-4-yl)acetate (4.6 g) as a yellow oil. 1H-NMR (CDCl3, 200 MHz): 0.41 (m, 2H), 0.62 (m, 2H), 1.22 (t, 3H), 1.23 (m, 1H), 3.58 (s, 2H), 3.89 (d, 2H), 4.17 (q, 2H), 6.96 (m, 2H), 7.31 (s, 1H), 7.64 (m, 4H).
