Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A solution of 6-bromo-N-methyl-2-naphthylamine (2.0 g, 8.5 mmol) in pyridine (50 ml) was added to copper (I) cyanide (1.1 g, 12.3 mmol). The mixture was stirred at 220° C. for 4 hours. The reaction mixture was allowed to cool to room temperature, extracted with dichloromethane, washed with an aqueous solution of hethylene diamine (10 vol %), and purified by column chromatography using hexane/ethyl acetate (4:1) as an eluting solvent to give the title compound (1.1 g, yield: 71%).
