(5-(Ethoxymethoxy)-2-ethylphenyl)boronic acid → 1-(5'-Ethoxymethoxy-2,2'-diethylbiphenyl-4-yl)propan-1-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

In a manner similar to that of Example 1(g), by reacting 2 g (8.9 mmol) of 2-ethyl-5-ethoxymethoxyphenylboronic acid with 2.1 g (6.9 mmol) of 2-ethyl-4-propionylphenyl 1,1,1-trifluoromethanesulfonate, a black oil is obtained, which is used without further purification for the rest of the synthesis.
