Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-bromo-6-fluoro-4-nitro-phenylamine (11 g, 47 mmol) in dry Et3N (100 mL) was added CuI (445 mg, 5% mol), Pd(PPh3)2Cl2 (550 mg, 5% mol) and 3,3-dimethyl-but-1-yne (9.6 g, 120 mmol) under N2 protection. The mixture was stirred at 80° C. for 10 h. The reaction mixture was filtered, poured into ice (100 g), and extracted with EtOAc (50 mL×3). The combined organic extracts were dried over anhydrous Na2SO4 and evaporated under vacuum to give the crude product, which was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (petroleum ether/ethyl acetate 50:1) to give 2-(3,3-dimethyl-but-1-ynyl)-6-fluoro-4-nitro-phenylamine (4.0 g, 36%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 8.02 (d, J=1.2 Hz, 1H), 7.84 (dd, J=2.4, 10.8 Hz, 1H), 4.85 (brs, 2H), 1.36 (s, 9H).
