Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-bromo-2-cyclohexyl-benzene (5 mmol) in dioxane (20 mL) was added solid Pd(OAc)2 (0.1 g) and solid CsCO3 (10 mmol). tert-Butyl carbamate (7 mmol) was added to the reaction mixture, and the contents were heated at 80° C. for 2 h. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and filtered through Celite. The solvent was removed in vacuo and the residue obtained was purified by flash column chromatography using DCM as eluant to yield (2-cyclohexylphenyl)-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester.
