Reaction Steps

The arylbromide (5) (118 mmol, 42.6 gr) was dissolved in about 430 ml of toluene in a 1 L flask to which 150 ml of 2M K2CO3 was added followed by 5.0 g (0.037 eq) of Pd(PPh3)4. After the addition of phenylboronic acid (2.0 eq, 29 gr) the flask was heated to 70° C. and the mixture stirred for 5 hours. HPLC of the reaction mixture indicated that the arylbromide had completely reacted and a dominant less polar moiety (89% pure, r.t.=8.5 min., 1-90% MeCN/H2O, 0.1% TFA) was observed.
