Reaktionsschritte

An oven-dried resealable 15 mL Schlenk tube was charged with CuI (9.6 mg, 0.0504 mmol, 5.0 mol %), K3PO4 (440 mg, 2.07 mmol), evacuated and backfilled with argon. 5-Iodo-m-xylene (145 μL, 1.00 mmol), 2-(4-aminophenyl)ethylamine (160 μL, 1.21 mmol), ethylene glycol (115 μL, 2.06 mmol), and isopropyl alcohol (1.0 mL) were added under argon. The Schlenk tube was sealed with a Teflon valve and the reaction mixture was stirred magnetically at 80° C. for 22 h. The resulting thick, gray-brown suspension was allowed to reach room temperature, poured into a solution of 30% aq ammonia (1 mL) in water (20 mL), and extracted with 3×15 mL of CH2Cl2. The yellow-brown organic phase was dried (Na2SO4), concentrated, and the residue was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel (2×20 cm; hexane-ethyl acetate 3:2; 15 mL fractions). Fractions 9-18 were concentrated and the residue was recrystallized from hexanes (5 mL) to give 167 mg (69% yield) of the desired product as large white needles. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): δ 7.04-6.97 (m, 2H), 6.67-6.61 (m, 2H), 6.36 (s, 1H), 6.24 (s, 2H), 3.65-3.50 (br m, 3H), 3.30 (t, J=6.8 Hz, 2H), 2.79 (t, J=7.0 Hz, 2H), 2.23 (s, 6H). 13C NMR (100 MHz, CDCl3): δ 148.2, 144.7, 138.8, 129.5, 129.2, 119.3, 115.3, 110.9, 45.3, 34.6, 21.5. IR (neat, cm−1): 3361, 3215, 1600, 1515, 1472, 1337, 1273, 1181, 820.
