Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-iodo-4-trifluoromethyl aniline (5.0 g, 17.42 mmol), trimethylboroxane (3.64 ml, 26.1 mmol), tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium (1.0 g, 0.87 mmol) and potassium carbonate (4.82 g, 34.8) in DMF (10 ml) was heated to 100° C. for 48 h. The reaction was quenched with water (50 ml) and extracted with EtOAc (3×50 ml). The combined EtOAc layers were washed with brine and dried over sodium sulfate. The title compound was obtained after flash column using EtOAc:hexane/1:9 as the eluant. 1H NMR (CDCl3, 500 MHz): δ7.13 (s, 1H), 7.30 (d, J=8 Hz, 1H), 6.71 (d, J=8 Hz, 1H), 3.98 (br s, 2H), 2.21 (s, 3H).
