To a flask containing 2-(4-amino-3-bromo-phenyl)-N-(2-dimethylamino-ethyl)-acetamide (as prepared in the previous step, 83 mg, 0.27 mmol), tris(dibenzylideneacetone)dipalladium (0) (4.0 mg, 0.0080 mmol), 2-(dicyclohexylphosphino)-2′,6′-dimethoxy-1,1′-biphenyl (5.6 mg, 0.010 mmol) and K3PO4 (0.17 g, 0.82 mmol) was charged dioxane (3 mL) and the reaction was heated to 100° C. for 48 h. At this time the reaction was diluted with EtOAc (25 mL) and washed with water (25 mL). The organic layer was dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated in vacuo. The crude residue was purified by preparative TLC (10% MeOH—CHCl3) to afford 26 mg (28%) of the title compound as a tan solid. 1H-NMR (CDCl3; 400 MHz): δ 6.85 (dd, 1H, J=8.0, 2.1 Hz), 6.79 (d, 1H, J=2.1 Hz), 6.59 (d, 1H, J=8.0 Hz), 6.01 (br s, 1H), 5.60 (m, 1H), 3.66 (br s, 2H), 3.35 (s, 2H), 3.23-3.18 (m, 2H), 2.27 (t, 1H, J=6.1 Hz), 2.20-2.14 (m, 2H), 2.09 (s, 6H), 1.90-1.88 (m, 2H), 1.44 (t, 2H, J=6.3 Hz), 0.92 (s, 6H).
