2-(Dicyclohexylphosphino)-2'-(dimethylamino)biphenyl → Methyl 4'-{[tert-butyl(dimethyl)silyl]oxy}-6-isopropoxy-2',6'-dimethylbiphenyl-3-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

(4-{[tert-Butyl(dimethyl)silyl]oxy}-2,6-dimethylphenyl)boronic acid (500 mg, 1.83 mmol) and methyl 3-bromo-4-isopropoxybenzoate (667 mg, 2.38 mmol) were dissolved in a mixture of 2 M aqueous sodium carbonate solution (2.38 mL) and toluene (20 mL), the air was substituted with argon gas, and 2-dicyclohexylphosphino-2′-(N,N-dimethylamino)biphenyl (118 mg, 0.29 mmol) and tris(dibenzylideneacetone)dipalladium(0) (67.0 mg, 0.07 mmol) were added. The reaction mixture was heated under reflux under an argon atmosphere for one day. After cooling the reaction mixture, brine was added, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel chromatography (hexane-hexane/ethyl acetate=10/1) to give the title compound (642 mg, yield 82%) as a yellow oil.
