Reaction Steps

A mixture of 29.2 g (216 mmol) of 2,4,6-trimethylaniline, 50.0 g (144 mmol) of 2-[2-(bromomethyl)-1-naphthyl]-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolane, and 22.0 g (159 mmol) of K2CO3 in 1100 cm3 of DMF was stirred at 80° C. for 12 h. The resulting mixture was poured into 2000 cm3 of water. The product was extracted with 3×400 ml of ethyl acetate. The combined extract was dried over MgSO4 and then evaporated to dryness. The product was isolated by flash chromatography on silica gel 60 (40-63 um; eluent: dichloromethane). Yield 45.0 g (78%). Anal. Calc. For C26H32BNO2: C, 77.81; H, 8.04; N, 3.49. Found: C, 77.99; H, 8.24; N, 3.26. 1H NMR (CDCl3): 8.27 (m, 1H, 8-H in naphthyl), 7.84 (m, 1H, 5-H in naphthyl), 7.81 (d, J=8.4 Hz, 1H, 4-H in naphthyl), 7.54 (m, 1H, 7-H in naphthyl), 7.48 (m, 1H, 6-H in naphthyl), 7.37 (d, J=8.4 Hz, 1H, 3-H in naphthyl), 6.87 (s, 2H, 3,5-H in mesityl), 4.39 (s, 2H, CH2N), 3.68 (br. s, 1H, NH), 2.31 (s, 6H, 2,6-Me in mesityl), 2.30 (s, 3H, 4-H in mesityl), 1.49 (s, 12H, CMe2CMe2).
