Procedure
To a solution of 1-bromo-2-chloro-5-fluoro-4-methylbenzene (70 g) dissolved in ethyl acetate (400 mL) was added N,N-diisopropylethylamine (161 mL), dichloro[1,1′-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene]palladium(II) dichloromethane adduct (5.15 g) and methanol (120 mL). The resulting mixture was stirred at 90° C. for 24 h under carbon monoxide (4 bar) in a 1.5 L autoclave. Further dichloro[1,1′-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene]palladium(II) dichloromethane adduct (2.57 g) was added and the reaction heated at 90° C. for a further 3 h. The cooled reaction mixture was evaporated to dryness and the residue purified by silica chromatography, eluting with 50% dichloromethane in iso-hexane to give the subtitle compound (57.7 g).
