4-bromo-2-chloro-1-cyclopropyloxybenzene

Conditions: temp:60.01; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: To a solution of 4-bromo-2-chloro-1-cyclopropoxy-benzene (610 mg, 2.46 mmol, 1.00 eq.) in dioxane (20 mL), bis(tri-t-butylphosphine)palladium (0) (193 mg, 0.37 mmol, 0.15 eq.) and 2-tert-butoxy-2-oxoethylzinc chloride (0.5M in diethyl ether) (8.9 mL, 4.44 mmol, 1.80 eq.) were added in sequence. The resulting mixture was stirred at r.t. for 18 hours and further at 60° C. for 4 hours. The mixture was allowed to cool down to r.t. and filtered through Celite. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by flashmaster (column: 100 g, flow: 45 mL/min, 40 fractions of 45 mL, Heptane to Heptane+5% AcOEt) to yield the title compound as a white solid. to cool down to r.t. filtered through Celite The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo The residue was purified by flashmaster (column: 100 g, flow: 45 mL/min, 40 fractions of 45 mL, Heptane to Heptane+5% AcOEt)

Conditions: temp:0.01; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: To an ice-cooled solution of diethylzinc solution (1.0 M in hexanes) (8.25 mL, 8.25 mmol, 2.75 eq.) in DCM (15 mL), trifluoroacetic acid (0.6 mL, 7.80 mmol, 2.60 eq.) was added slowly (gas evolution). Upon addition completion, the mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 10 min. Methyleniodid (0.7 mL, 8.70 mmol, 2.90 eq.) was added dropwise and the mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 10 min. A solution of 4-bromo-2-chloro-1-vinyloxy-benzene (700 mg, 3.00 mmol, 1.00 eq.) in DCM (5 mL) was added dropwise. The reaction mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 30 min and further at r.t. for 1 hour, then quenched with 2N aq. HCl soln. (15 mL) and water (5 mL). The layers were separated. The aq. layer was extracted with DCM (1×25 mL). The comb. org. phases were dried over MgSO4 and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by flashmaster (column: 100 g, flow: 45 mL/min, 30 fractions of 45 mL, Heptane to Heptane+5% AcOEt) to yield 4-bromo-2-chloro-1-cyclopropoxy-benzene as a colorless oil. was added slowly (gas evolution) Upon addition completion the mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 10 min The reaction mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 30 min and further at r.t. for 1 hour quenched with 2N aq. HCl soln The layers were separated The aq. layer was extracted with DCM (1×25 mL) phases were dried over MgSO4 concentrated in vacuo The residue was purified by flashmaster (column: 100 g, flow: 45 mL/min, 30 fractions of 45 mL, Heptane to Heptane+5% AcOEt)
