Reaction Steps

Palladium (II) acetate (0.011 g, 0.05 mmol) was added to(R)-(-)-1-[(S)-2-(dicyclohexylphosphino)ferrocenyl]ethyldi-t-butylphosphine (0.027 g, 0.05 mmol) in THF (1 mL) in a reaction vessel evacuated and purged with nitrogen. The resulting catalyst mixture was stirred and under nitrogen at 50 °C for 30 minutes. 04-Dec-2013 10:52:28 AM -0500 LiHMDS (1.194 mL, 1.19 mmol), 3-aminopropanamide, HCl (0.077 g, 0.62 mmol) and 4-bromobenzoic acid (0.1 g, 0.50 mmol) was added to a second reaction vessel and purged with nitrogen. were added at 20 °C. The catalyst solution was added to the reaction mixture and the resulting mixture was stirred at 120 °C for 16 hours. LCMS showed starting material only. Desired product not isolated from this reaction.
