Participants

Reaction Steps

4-Chloro-3-nitrophenol (2.0 g, 0.012 mol), phenylboronic acid (3.5 g, 0.029 mol), TEA (9.6 mL, 0.069 mol), cupric acetate (3.3 g, 0.018 mol) and DCM (100 mL, 2 mol) were added to a 100 mL oven dried flask and the reaction was stirred at rt for 48 h. The solvent was then removed under reduced pressure and the resulting residue was purified by flash chromatography (5% EtOAc in Hexane).
