Reaction Steps

To a chilled stirred solution of 3-methoxybenzoyl chloride (5.0 g, 29.3 mmole) in acetone/water (3:1) was added 4-chloro-2-methylphenylboronic acid (5.0 g, 29.3 mmole) followed by PdCl2 (0.259 g, 5 mole %) and sodium carbonate (23.87 mL, 47 mmole). The solution was allowed to stir at room temperature overnight. The reaction workup and purification was conducted according to Example 9a, Step 1 producing the title compound (5.8 g, 76%). This ester was of suitable purity to use without further purification: ESLRMS m/z 261.1 (M+H).
