Participants

Reaction Steps

3-Formylphenylboronic acid (2.25 g), potassium carbonate (4.15 g) and tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) (0.58 g) was added to a solution of (4-bromophenyl)-acetic acid methyl ester (2.3 g) in a nitrogen degassed mixture of toluene and methanol [9:1] (20 mL) and heated to reflux for 18 hours. On cooling the reaction was filtered through a pad of Celite, the pad was washed with ethyl acetate (2×50 mL) and the combined filtrates were concentrated. Purification on silica, eluting with iso-hexane/ethyl acetate [1:0 to 4:1], afforded the subtitle compound as yellow oil (2.45 g)
