Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Potassium carbonate (1.38 g, 10 mmol), catalytic amount of potassium iodide, and 3,4-dimethoxyaniline (1.53 g 10 mmol) were added to a solution of 2-(bromomethyl)biphenyl (1.83 mL, 10 mmol) in acetonitrile (200 mL). The reaction mixture was heated and stirred at 80° C. for 18 hours, then was cooled to room temperature. The solid was filtered and the filtrate concentrated to dryness. Purification by silica gel column chromatography using 20% ethyl acetate in hexanes as the eluant afforded the pure product (1.04 g). MH+320: 1H (CDCl3) δ 3.77 (3H, s), 3.78 (3H, s), 4.21 (2H, s), 6.05 (1H, dd, J=8, 3), 6.14 (1H, m) 6.67 (1H, d, J=8), 7.28-7.42 (8H, m), 7.54 (1H, m).
