Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 1-amino-4-bromonaphthalene (5 g, 22.5 mmol) in DMF (30 mL) was added CuCN (10.1 g, 112.5 mmol), CuI (8.7 g, 45 mmol) and the mixture was heated to 120° C. in a sealed tube for 24 h. After completion of the reaction (TLC), the mixture was filtered and the filtrate was evaporated to give the crude product which was purified by column chromatography over silica gel (EtOAc in Hexanes, 5%) to furnish the desired compound.
