Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4-bromobenzoylchloride (4.84 g, 22 mmol), 2-bromoaniline (3.8 g, 22 mmol), CuI (0.21 g, 1.1 mmol), Cs2CO3 (14.3 g, 44 mmol) and 1,10-phenathroline (0.398 g, 2.2 mmol) in anhydrous 1,4-dioxane (80 mL) was degassed and heated at about 125° C. under argon overnight. The mixture was cooled and poured into ethyl acetate (˜200 mL) and filtered. The filtrate was absorbed on silica gel, purified by column chromatography (hexanes/ethyl acetate 4:1), and precipitated by hexanes to give a white solid (5.2 g, in 87% yield).
