Cesium carbonate → HCID 71062756, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Pd(PPh3)4 (0.0736 g, 0.06 mmol) was added to a solution of 6-bromo-2-tetralone (1.5 g, 6.66 mmol) in 50 mL of 1,4 dioxane-H2O (3:1) mixture under argon atmosphere, followed by cesium carbonate (6.49 g, 19.99 mmol) and 4-nitrophenyl boronic acid (1.32 g, 7.99 mmol). The reaction mixture was degassed for 5 min. The reaction mixture was refluxed for 4 h and solvent removed under reduced pressure. The residue partitioned between ethyl acetate and water. The separated organic layer was dried over sodium sulphate, filtered and removed under reduced pressure. The product was purified by flash chromatography using 18% ethyl acetate in hexane to afford title compound (0.9 g, 50%) as solid. 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3): 8.31 (d, J=9.0 Hz, 2H), 7.74 (d, J=8.4 Hz, 2H), 7.5 (m, 2H), 7.27 (s, 1H), 3.66 (s, 2H), 3.16 (t, J=6.9 Hz, 2H), 2.61 (t, J=6.9 Hz, 2H).
