Reaction Steps

To a solution of (2-bromo-4-nitro-phenyl)-methyl-amine (22.5 g, 97.4 mmol) in toluene (200 mL) and water (100 mL) were added Et3N (19.7 g, 195 mmol), Pd(PPh3)2Cl2 (6.8 g, 9.7 mmol), CuI (0.7 g, 3.9 mmol) and 3,3-dimethyl-but-1-yne (16.0 g, 195 mmol) successively under N2 protection. The mixture was heated at 70° C. for 3 hours and then cooled down to room temperature. The resulting mixture was extracted with EtOAc (100 mL×3). The combined organic extracts were dried over anhydrous Na2SO4 and evaporated under vacuum to give [2-(3,3-dimethyl-but-1-ynyl)-4-nitro-phenyl]-methyl-amine (20.1 g, 94%), which was used in the next step without further purification. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 8.15 (d, J=2.4 Hz, 1H), 8.08 (dd, J=2.8, 9.2 Hz, 1H), 6.50 (d, J=9.2 Hz, 1H), 5.30 (brs, 1H), 3.00 (s, 3H), 1.35 (s, 9H).
