General Procedure
for Suzuki-Miyaura Reactions
A solution of
K3PO4 (1.5 equiv per cross-coupling), Pd(PPh3)4 (3
mol% per cross-coupling step), and arylboronic acid 3 (1.1 equiv per cross-coupling) in the
solvent indicated was stirred at the indicated temperature and for
the indicated time. After cooling to 20 ˚C, distilled
H2O was added. The organic and the aqueous layers were
separated, and the latter was extracted with CH2Cl2.
The combined organic layers were dried (Na2SO4),
filtered, and the filtrate was concentrated in vacuo. The residue
was purified by column chromatography (flash silica gel, heptanes-EtOAc).
