Reaction Steps

Tripotassium phosphate (3.42 g) was added to a mixture of 4-(2-aminopyridin-3-yl)phenol (1.00 g) and 1-bromo-4-fluoro-2-(trifluoromethyl)benzene (1.57 g) in DMSO (15 mL). The mixture was stirred at 140° C. under nitrogen for 7 hr. Water and EtOAc were added and the extracted organic layer was washed with brine. Silica-gel was added to the organic layer and the volatiles were removed in vacuo. The mixture supported on silica-gel was purified by column chromatography (NH-silica gel, eluted with EtOAc in hexane) and concentrated to give 3-{4-[4-bromo-3-(trifluoromethyl)phenoxy]phenyl}pyridin-2-amine (1.52 g) as orange oil.
