Reaction Steps

A 1 L three neck flask was charged with 2-methoxyaniline (17.65 g, 143 mmol) , bromobenzene (15 g, 96 mmol), Pd2(dba)3 (1.75 g, 1.91 mmole), S-Phos (1.56 g, 3.82 mmol), sodium tert-butoxide (18.36 g, 101 mmol) and 400 mL of xylene. The reaction mixture was refluxed for 4 hours. The product was isolated by column chromatography (5% EtOAc in hexanes) to yield the desired product. (18 g, 94%)
