Reaction Steps

A solution of N-allyl, N-trifluoroacetyl-2-iodo-4-chlorophenethylamine (0.76 g, 1.8 mmol) in dimethylformamide (20 mL) was treated with KOAc (0.53 g, 5.4 mmol), n-Bu4NBr (0.58 g, 1.8 mmol), PPh3 (0.047 g, 0.18 mmol), Pd(OAc)2 (0.041 g, 0.18 mmol) and stirred overnight at 105° C. The product mixture was cooled to 20° C., filtered, diluted with water (100 mL), extracted with ether (3×100 mL), the combined organic phases washed with water (100 mL), brine (100 mL), dried with Na2SO4 and concentrated. Flash chromatography (10% EtOAc in hexane, silica) resulted in 0.228 g of a clear oil. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.29 (s, 1H), 7.18 (m, 1H), 7.04 (m, 1H), 5.38 (m, 2H), 5.40 (d, J=16 Hz, 2H), 3.80 (m, 2H), 3.00 (m, 2H). MS calculated for C13H11ClF3NO+H: 290, observed: 290.
