Hexane → Ethyl 2-fluoro-3-vinylbenzoate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A 12.76 g portion of ethyl 3-bromo-2-fluorobenzoate was dissolved in 50 ml of Tol solution, 15.8 ml of tributyl(vinyl)tin, 236 mg of tris(dibenzylideneacetone)dipalladium and 1.25 ml of tri-tert-butylphosphine 10 wt % hexane solution were added thereto in order, and stirred at room temperature for 13 hours in an atmosphere of argon. This was diluted with 300 ml of diethyl ether, mixed with 25 g of potassium fluoride and 5 ml of purified water and stirred for 30 minutes, the insoluble matter was filtered using a Kiriyama funnel, and then the mother liquid was concentrated. The residue was purified by a silica gel column chromatography (hexane:ethyl acetate=40:1) to obtain 10.3 g (97%) of ethyl 2-fluoro-3-vinylbenzoate (Reference Example 17-1).
