Reaction Steps

Copper (I) iodide (10 mg, 0.05 mmol, 5 mol %), anhydrous fine powder potassium phosphate (425 mg, 2.0 mmol) and 2-phenylphenol (34 mg, 0.2 mmol, 20 mol %) were put into a screw-capped test tube with a Teflon septum. Anhydrous toluene (1.0 mL), bromobenzene (105 μL, 1.0 mmol) and n-hexylamine (158 μL, 1.2 mmol) were added by micro-syringe at room temperature under air atmosphere. The reaction mixture was heated at 100° C. for 22 hours. The reaction mixture was then allowed to reach room temperature. Diethyl ether (2 mL), water (2 mL) and dodecane (internal standard, 227 μL) were added. The organic layer was analyzed by GC to give 33% GC yield of N-phenylhexylamine.
