1,4-Dibromobenzene → 4-bromo-N-hexylaniline

Participants

Reaction Steps

Using the general procedure, 1,4-dibromobenzene (236 mg, 1.0 mmol) was coupled with n-hexylamine (158 μL, 1.2 mmol) at 90° C. for 20 h. Purification of the crude product by column chromatography on silica gel using hexane/ethyl acetate (20:1) as eluent afforded the desired product as a colorless oil (212 mg, 83% yield). Rf=0.6 (hexane/ethyl acetate=10:1).
