Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-naphthylamine (8.0 g, 55.9 mmol), iodobenzene (12.24 g, 60 mmol), Pd(dppf)Cl2 (0.731 g, 1 mmol) and sodium tert-butoxide (NaOBut) (5.76 g, 60 mmol) in toluene (200 mL) was degassed and heated at 120° C. overnight. The whole was poured into ethyl acetate (250 mL), washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4, loaded on silica gel and purified by flash column (hexanes to hexanes/dichloromethane 10:1). The desired fraction was collected, and concentrated. A white solid precipitated, which was filtered to give the product (Compound 20) (5.30 g, in 43% yield).
