Reaction Steps

A 15 mL resealable Schlenk tube was charged with CuI (10 mg, 0.0525 mmol, 5.0 mol %), acetamide (170 mg, 2.88 mmol), K3PO4 (450 mg, 2.12 mmol), evacuated and backfilled with argon. trans-N,N′-Dimethyl-1,2-cyclohexanediamine (17 μL, 0.108 mmol, 10 mol %), iodobenzene (115 μL, 1.03 mmol) and toluene (1.0 mL) were added under argon. The Schlenk tube was sealed with a Teflon valve and the reaction mixture was stirred at 60° C. for 4 h. After the resulting suspension was allowed to reach room temperature, ethyl acetate (1 mL) and dodecane (235 μL, internal GC standard) were added. GC analysis indicated 100% yield of the desired product.
