Reaction Steps

Following the general procedure shown above, Pd2dba3 (18.3 mg, 2 mol %), NaO-t-Bu (336 mg, 3.5 mmol), P(isoBuNCH2CH2)3N (13.6 mg, 4 mol %), 4-aminostyrene (119 mg, 1 mmol), 4-bromotoluene (547 mg, 3.2 mmol), and 10 mL of dry toluene at 110° C. for 16 h produced (4) 4-ethenyl-N,N-bis(4-methylphenyl)benzenamine (32 mg, 11%) as a viscous liquid and (5) N,N-bis(4-methylphenyl)-4-[2-(4-methylphenyl)ethenyl]benzenamine (325 mg, 84%) as a yellow solid after chromatography with 1% EtOAc/hexane mixture. Total yield=95%. (See Entry 1 of Table 2).
