Air- Stable Palladium-Catalyzed Suzuki Cross-Coupling Reaction
General Procedure for Suzuki Reactions
POPd (50.0 mg, 0.10 mmol), chlorobenzene (1.13 g, 10.0 mmol), Me-C6H4B(OH)2 (2.04 g, 15.0 mmol), and K2CO3 (4.15 g, 30.0 mmol) were weighed in air and transferred to a 50 mL of reactor equipped with magnetic stir bar and 10 mL of THF. The reaction mixture was refluxed under nitrogen or open-to-air condition for 2 h. The reaction was diluted with 300 mL of hexane and 100 mL of H2O. The layers were separated, and organic layer was washed with H2O (100 mL), brine (100 mL), and dried over MgSO4, filtered, and solvents removed from the filtrate by rotary evaporation. The resulting residue was chromatographed on silica gel using hexane as eluant. The eluate was concentrated by rotary evaporation followed by high vacuum to give 1.59 g (95% yield) of 4-phenyltoluene.
