N-[(furan-2-yl)methyl]aniline → N-(furan-2-ylmethyl)-1,3-benzodioxol-5-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

Using the general procedure, 4-bromo-1,2-(methylenedioxy)benzene (120 μL, 1.0 mmol) was coupled with furfurylaniline (132 μL, 1.5 mmol). Purification of the crude product by column chromatography on silica gel using hexane/ethyl acetate (8:1) as eluent afforded the desired product as a colorless oil (187 mg, 87% yield). Rf=0.5 (hexane/ethyl acetate=5:1).
