Sodium Carbonate → 3,2',4'-Trifluoro-biphenyl-4-ylamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-bromo-2-fluoro-phenylamine (190 mg, 1 mmol) and 2,4-difluorophenylboronic acid (240 mg, 1 mmol) in 2.5 ml of 1,2-dimethoxy-ethane was added tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) (110 mg, 0.1 mmol) and 0.5 ml of 2M sodium carbonate aqueous solution. The mixture was microwaved at 150° C. for 15 min. The solvents were evaporated and the residue was diluted with CH2Cl2 and filtered. The filtration was concentrated and purified on a flash chromatography column with 0-80% EtOAc/hexanes to give 3,2′,4′-trifluoro-biphenyl-4-ylamine as an off-white solid (200 mg, 90%).
