Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of sodium tert-butoxide (0.617 g), 2,2′-bis(diphenylphosphino)-1,1′-binaphthyl (0.160 g), 1,1-diphenylmethanimine (1.008 g), 2-chloro-3-{[4-(1-methylethyl)phenoxy]methyl}pyridine (1.12 g), tris(dibenzylideneacetone)dipalladium(0) (0.118 g) and toluene (20 mL) was stirred at 110° C. for 6 hr. To the reaction mixture was added THF, and the mixture was filtered through celite, and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. To the residue were added THF (25 mL) and 1M hydrochloric acid (25 mL) at room temperature, and the mixture was stirred overnight. The reaction mixture was neutralized with saturated aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate solution, and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with water and saturated brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by basic silica gel column chromatography (ethyl acetate/hexane) to give the title compound (902.2 mg) containing impurity as a pale-yellow oil.
