Toluene → Biphenyl-3-yl-dimethylamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

Using a THF solution of phenylmagnesium bromide (1.19 mL, 1.01 M, 1.2 mmol) and 3-chloro-N,N-dimethylaniline (155.6 mg, 1.0 mmol) as starting materials, the reaction was performed at a scale of 1.0 mmol at 60° C. for 24 hours in the same manner as in Example 2. After performing silica gel column chromatography (toluene=50 and 100% in hexane), the above compound was obtained as a colorless liquid (0.185 g, yield=94%, purity=>98% (GC analysis)).
