Reaction Steps

A solution of 1-bromo-4-trifluoromethyl-benzene (50.0 g; 220 mmol) and piperidin-4-ylmethyl-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester (48.1 g; 220 mmol) in dioxane (1 L) was added to a suspension of palladium (II) acetate (7.41 g; 33 mmol), cesium carbonate (144.8 g; 440 mmol), and 2,2′-bis(diphenylphosphino)-1,1′-binaphthyl (31.8 g; 45 mmol) in dioxane (1 L). The resulting mixture was heated to 110° C., and then maintained at that temperature for 28 hr with stirring. The mixture was then allowed to cool to room temperature. Afterward, the reaction mixture was treated with water (2 L) and extracted with dichloromethane (2×1 L). The combined organic phases were dried over sodium sulfate and filtered, and then the solvents were removed under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was dissolved in acetonitrile (1.5 L). Water (1.5 L) was then added with stirring. This resulting in a precipitate, which was filtered and then dried overnight at 40° C. at a pressure of 3 mbar to afford the desired product (48.9 g; 136 mmol).
