Procedure

6-(bromomethyl)benzofuran-2-carbonitrile (0.5 g, 2.12 mmol) was dissolved in DMF (21.2 ml). K2CO3 (0.44 g, 3.18 mmol) was added, followed by 3-bromo-4-(trifluoromethoxy)aniline (314 μL, 2.12 mmol), and the mixture was stirred at RT for 18 hr. The reaction was diluted with EtOAc and water. The organic layer was washed with water×6, brine, dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude mixture was diluted with DCM and silica gel was added. The mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure to dry-load material for purification. The crude mixture was purified via silica gel FCC, 100% Heptane-50% EtOAc/50% Heptane to give 6-(((3-bromo-4-(trifluoromethoxy)phenyl)amino)methyl)benzofuran-2-carbonitrile (651 mg). LCMS retention time=1.57 minutes (LC method 1); MS (m+1)=412.1. 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 4.46 (d, J=6.0 Hz, 2H), 6.62 (dd, J=9.0, 2.8 Hz, 1H), 6.88-6.95 (m, 2H), 7.17 (dq, J=9.0, 1.3 Hz, 1H), 7.44 (dd, J=8.2, 1.4 Hz, 1H), 7.70 (s, 1H), 7.80 (dd, J=8.1, 0.7 Hz, 1H), 8.08 (d, J=1.0 Hz, 1H).
