Procedure

To a solution of 5-bromo-N-(4-methoxybenzyl)benzene-1,2-diamine (550 mg, crude) in HC(OMe)3 (20 mL) was added TsOH.H2O (30 mg, 0.16 mmol). The mixture was stirred at 100° C. for 4 h. The reaction solution was then concentrated and the residue was washed with water and extracted with EtOAc. The organic layer was concentrated to give the desired product (450 mg, 79% yield) and the crude product used in next step without further purification. LCMS (m/z): 318.1 [M+H]+
