Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-iodo-2-methoxybenzene (1 g, 4.28 mmol) in dioxane (10 mL) was added morpholine (446.8 mg, 5.12 mmol), Pd2(dba)3 (100 mg, 0.1 mmol), Xantphos (200 mg, 0.3 mmol) and t-BuONa (671 mg, 6.0 mmol). Under a N2 atmosphere the reaction mixture was heated at reflux temperature for 16 h. The solvent was then removed and the residue dissolved in ethyl acetate and washed with water. The separated organic layer was concentrated to give the crude product which was used in next step without further purification (578 mg Yield 70%). LCMS (m/z): 194.1 (M+1).
