Sodium Carbonate → Methyl 2-Methoxy-5-phenylbenzoate

Participants

Reaction Steps

1.06 g (3.64 mmol) of methyl 2-Methoxy-5-iodobenzoate, 460 mg (3.78 mmol) of phenylboronic acid, 83 mg (2 molar %) of tetrakistriphenylphosphine palladium and 1.52 g (14.4 mmol) of sodium carbonate were heated under reflux in 12 ml of toluene/ethanol/water (2/1/1) solvent mixture for 2 hours. After the filtration through Celite followed by the after treatment conducted by an ordinary method, the obtained residue was purified by the silica gel column chromatography to obtain the title compound.
