Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3-(chlorocarbonyl)-2-methylphenyl acetate (10.0 g, 47.0 mmole), PdCl2 (83.4 mg, 0.470 mmole), Na2CO3 (8.13 g, 76.7 mmole) and phenyl boronic acid (6.02 g, 49.4 mmole) in a 3:1 acetone:H2O mixture (300 mL) was stirred at room temperature for 5 days. The acetone was removed in vacuo and the aqueous mixture was extracted with EtOAc (2×200 mL). The combined extracts were washed with brine (100 mL), dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated in vacuo to give 7.68 g (64% yield) of the product as a white crystalline solid: E1HRMS m/z 254.0939 (M+, C16H14O3, Calc'd 254.0943).
