Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-bromo-N-methyl-benzene sulfonamide (2.49 g, 10 mmol) in DMF (20 mL) was added 3-amino-phenyl boronic acid (1.51 g, 11 mmol), Pd(PPh3)4 (90 mg, 0.30 mmol), potassium carbonate (1.52 g, 11 mmol) and water (5 mL). The resulting mixture was degassed by gently bubbling argon through the solution for 5 minutes at 20° C. The reaction mixture was then heated at 80° C. overnight. The reaction was filtered through a pad of silica gel, which was washed with CH2Cl2 (50 mL×3). The combined organics were concentrated under reduced pressure to give crude product, which was washed with EtOAc to give pure 3′-amino-N-methylbiphenyl-4-sulfonamide (C-3) (1.3 g, 50%). NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.85 (d, J=8.7 Hz, 2H), 7.75 (d, J=8.7 Hz, 2H), 7.19 (t, J=7.8 Hz, 1H), 6.95-7.01 (m 2H), 6.73-6.77 (m, 1H), 2.54 (s, 3H). MS (ESI) m/e (M+H+) 263.0.
