Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1,4-dibromobenzene (1.0 g), thiomorpholine (0.44 g), tris(dibenzylideneacetone)dipalladium(0) (0.097 g), 2,2′-bis(diphenylphosphino)-1,1′-binaphthyl (0.20 g) and sodium tert-butoxide (0.49 g) in toluene (10 mL) was stirred at 80° C. for 16 hr. To the reaction mixture was added water, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with saturated brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (ethyl acetate/hexane) to give the title compound (0.82 g).
