Reaction Steps

To 1-bromo-4-trifluoromethyl-benzene (1 g), rac-3-Methyl-piperazine-1-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (1 g), in toluene (10 mL) was added sodium tert-butylate (0.6 g), 2-(dicyclohexylphosphino)biphenyl (31 mg), and tris(dibenzylideneacetone)Pd—CHCl3 (23 mg). The reaction mixture was then stirred at 80° C. overnight. Ethyl acetate was then added to the reaction mixture. Solids were filtered off. The filtrate was then concentrated in vacuo, and the residue was purified by column chromatography to yield 0.46 g of the title compound. MS (m/e): 345.2 (M+H+, 100%)
