Abstract

The synthesis of 4′-hydroxy-4-biphenylpropionic, 3′, 4′-dihydroxy-4-biphenylpropionic, 3′, 5′-dihydroxy-4-biphenylpropionic, and 3′, 4′, 5′-trihydroxy-4-biphenylpropionic methyl esters via three efficient and modular strategies including one based on Ni-catalyzed borylation and sequential cross-coupling is reported. These building blocks were employed in a convergent iterative approach to the synthesis of one library of 3, 4, 5-trisubstituted ...
