2-Bromo-5-(trifluoromethyl)benzenamine → 2-(3-Dimethylamino-1-propynyl)-5-(trifluoromethyl)aniline

Participants

Reaction Steps

A resealable tube was charged with 2-bromo-5-(trifluoromethyl)aniline (1.00 g, 4.16 mmol), 1-dimethylamino-2-propyne (0.520 g, 6.20 mmol), PdCl2(PPh3)2 (0.15 g, 0.21 mmol), copper iodide (0.80 mg, 0.42 mmol), diisopropylethylamine (1.0 mL) and acetonitrile (3.0 mL). The system was purged with argon, the tube sealed and the mixture stirred at room temperature for 20 h. The reaction mixture was filtered through celite and concentrated. The residue was purified via column chromatography on silica gel (gradient elution with 0-10% methanol-dichloromethane) to afford 2-(3-dimethylamino-1-propynyl)-5-(trifluoromethyl)aniline as a brown oil. MS m/z=243 [M+H]+. Calc'd for C12H13F3N2: 242.
