Reaction Steps

Add 5-bromo-2-fluoro-benzonitrile (0.5 g, 2.5 mmol), benzophenone imine (0.543 g, 3 mmol), (±)-2,2′-bis(diphenylphosphino)-1,1′-binaphthalene (BINAP, 60 mg, 0.1 mmol), tris(dibenzylideneacetone)dipalladium [Pd2(dba)3, 50 mg, 0.05 mmol], and Cs2CO3 (1.6 g, 4.9 mmol) in 1,4-dioxane (20 mL). Stir the reaction under N2 at 110° C. for 16 hrs. Cool to room temperature, filter the solid, and concentrate the filtrate to give the crude product. Purification by chromatography (silica gel, EtOAc:PE=1:3) affords the title compound (0.78 g, 99%). MS: (M+1): 301.
