Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 2-trifluoromethyl-bromobenzene (0.7 g, 2.75 mmol) and 4-carbaldehyde boronic acid (0.5 g, 3.3 mmol) in dioxane (20 mL) under nitrogen at 80° C. was added Pd(PPh3)4 (0.05 g) followed by the addition of a solution of Na2CO3 (0.7 g) in H2O (5 m). The mixture was stirred at 100° C. for 6 h. The solvent was evaporated and the residue was diluted to 50 ml with EtOAc and washed with H2O. The solvent was evaporated to dryness and the residue was purified by FCC (SiO2) to give the title compound (0.61 g; 88%), as creamy solid. 1H-NMR (CDCl3) 7.49 (d, 1H, J=7.41 Hz); 7.48 (d, 2H, J=8.13 Hz); 7.61-7.53 (m, 2H); 7.76 (d, 1H, J=7.8 Hz); 7.91 (d, 2H, J=8.34 Hz); 10.07 (s, 1H).
