Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1-propanol (7.5 mL) and water (2.5 mL) was purged with nitrogen for 5 minutes. To the solution were added 4-bromo-1H-imidazole (146.97 mg, 1 mmol), 2-(hydroxyl-methyl)phenylboronic acid (190 mg, 1.25 mmol), Pd(OAc)2 (11.2 mg, 0.05 mmol), PPh3 (39.3 mg, 0.15 mmol) and potassium carbonate (276 mg, 2.0 mmol). After stirring at 85° C. for 16 h, the mixture was allowed to cool to room temperature and was partitioned between EtOAc (30 mL) and water (15 mL). The aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc (2×20 mL) and the combined organic layers were washed with water, brine, and dried over sodium sulfate. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the crude product was purified by flash column chromatography on silica gel to afford the pure product (62 mg, 37% yield). 1H NMR: 4.48 (s, 2H), 6.25 (br s, 1H), 7.18-7.28 (m, 2H), 7.39-7.47 (m, 2H), 7.62 (d, 1H, J=7.0 Hz), 7.80 (d, 1H), 12.30 (br s, 1H).
