Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-bromo-4-carboethoxy-N-allylaniline (J. Org. Chem., 45, 2710 (1980)) (650 mg, 2.29 mmol) in acetonitrile (10 ml), tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) (132 mg, 0.114 mmol), palladium (II) acetate (25.7 mg, 0.114 mmol) and TEA (0.413 ml, 2.98 mmol) were added and stirred overnight in a sealed tube at 100° C. After filtering the reaction mixture, the filtrate was evaporated under reduced pressure; the thus obtained residue was subjected to silica gel column chromatography (developing solvent: ethyl acetate:n-hexane=1:2) to give the titled compound (340 mg, 73%).
