Participants

Reaction Steps

In a manner similar to that of Example 1(g), by reacting 2 g (6.2 mmol) of 4-propionyl-2-propylphenyl 1,1,1-trifluoromethanesulfonate with 1.2 g (8 mmol) of 5-[1,3]dioxolan-2-yl-2-methylphenylboronic acid, and after purification by chromatography on a column of silica eluted with a mixture of heptane and ethyl acetate (90/10), 1.42 g (78%) of product are obtained in the form of a pale yellow oil.
