Reaction Steps

4-Bromo-2-fluoro-1-nitrobenzene (500 mg, 2.27 mmol), 2-nitro-4-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)aniline (660 mg, 2.50 mmol) and K2CO2 (940 mg, 6.81 mmol) were suspended in DME-H2O (4:1, 15 mL) and purged with nitrogen. The solution was degassed by sonication before Pd(dppf)Cl2 (185 mg, 10 mol %) was added. The mixture was heated to 130° C. for 10 min under microwave irradiation. The cooled mixture was partitioned between EtOAc and H2O. The aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc (2×50 mL). The combined organic extracts were washed with brine, dried (MgSO4), filtered and concentrated. The resulting black solid was absorbed onto silica and purified by column chromatography (4:1 to 1:1 petrol-EtOAc) to give the product as an orange solid (285 mg, 45%).
