Reaction Steps

1,3-Dibromo-2-methylbenzene (5.01 g) and N-methylaniline (1.00 g) were added to toluene (65 mL). The solution was degassed and flushed with nitrogen three times. Cesium carbonate (9.12 g), 2,2′-bis(diphenylphosphino)-1,1′-binaphthyl (0.872 g), and palladium (II) acetate (0.314 g) were added. The solution was degassed and flushed with nitrogen and then heated to 85° C. for 72 hours. The solution was cooled, added to 1 M aqueous HCl, and extracted with diethyl ether. The extract was washed with brine, dried on anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated under vacuum. The crude material was purified on silica gel using 2% ethyl acetate in hexanes.
