4-Bromo-2-methoxyphenol → HCID 66915530, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

4-Bromo-2-methoxyphenol (1.0 g, 0.0049 mol), (2-methylphenyl)boronic acid (1.7 g, 0.012 mol), TEA (4.1 mL, 0.030 mol), cupric acetate (1.4 g, 0.0079 mol) and DCM (50 mL) were added to a 100 mL oven dried flask and the reaction was stirred at rt for 48 h. Reaction mixture was then filtered through celite. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo to give a residue which was purified by silica gel chromatography, eluting with 5% EtOAc in hexane. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): δ=2.28 (s, 3H), 3.88 (s, 3H), 6.61 (d, J=8.59 Hz, 1H), 6.78 (d, J=8.08 Hz, 1H), 6.99 (dd, J=8.59, 2.02 Hz, 1H), 7.04 (t, J=7.33 Hz, 1H), 7.09-7.17 (m, 2H), 7.24 (d, J=7.33 Hz, 1H).
