Reaction Steps

A mixture of o-toluidine (6.05 g, 56.5 mmol), 1-bromo-2-methylbenzene (8.5 g, 50 mmol), Pd(dppf)Cl2 and sodium tert-butoxide (9.6 g, 0.1 mmol) in toluene (120 mL) was degassed and heated at about 100° C. overnight. The mixture was purified by flash column using eluents of hexanes/dichloromethane 2:1 to give a white solid (Compound 9) (8.84 g, in 89.7% yield).
