Reaction Steps

The above general procedure was followed using chlorobenzene (135 mg, 1.20 mmol) and aniline (93 mg, 1.00 mmol) with 5 mol % Pd(dba)2 and 4 mol % tri-t-butylphosphine in 2.0 mL of toluene. After 25 hours, the reaction mixture was adsorbed onto silica gel and chromatographed with 2.5% ethyl acetate/hexanes to give 126 mg (75%) of diphenylamine as an off-white solid.
