Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A test tube was charged with CuI (20 mg, 0.10 mmol, 0.10 equiv), K3PO4 (425 mg, 2.0 mmol, 2.0 equiv), benzylurea (225 mg, 1.5 mmol, 1.5 equiv), 3-bromoaniline (109 μL, 1.0 mmol, 1.0 equiv), N,N′-dimethylethylendiamine (22 μL, 0.20 mmol, 0.20 equiv) and dry dioxane (1.0 mL), filled with nitrogen. The test tube was sealed and the reaction mixture was stirred at 80° C. for 24 h. The resulting suspension was cooled to room temperature and filtered through a 0.5×1 cm pad of silica gel, eluting with ethyl acetate. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo. The solid residue was dissolved in ˜2 mL DMF. Purification of the residue by flash chromatography on silica gel (2×20 cm; hexane:ethyl acetate 1:2) provided 185 mg (77% yield) of the title compound as a light yellow solid.
