Reaction Steps

4-(3-Butenyl)phenylboronic acid is made by the method of Nakashima and Irie (Nakashima, H.; Irie, M. Macromol. Chem. Phys. 200, 683-692). 4-(3-butenyl)phenylboronic acid (0.44 g) and a solution of Pd(Ph3)4 (58 mg) in 5 mL of degassed toluene is placed in a 50 mL Schlenk tube. The mixture is purged with nitrogen, after which a solution of 4-bromo-7-phenyl-1,10-phenanthroline (0.670 g) and Na2CO3 (428 mg, 4 mmol) in 5 mL of degassed 4:1H2O/CH3OH is added. The mixture is heated under nitrogen at 100° C. with rapid stirring until TLC monitoring shows the reaction to be complete (ca 24 hrs). The reaction mixture is then added to a separatory funnel and washed with ether (3×50 mL). The combined organic fractions are dried over MgSO4 and concentrated by roto-evaporation. The desired product is purified by column chromatography on silica gel using a mixture of ethyl acetate and hexane.
