Participants

Reaction Steps

According to the general procedure B, 3-chlorotoluene (127 mg, 1.00 mmol) reacted with N,N-di-n-butylamine (155 mg, 1.20 mmol) using 0.5 mol % Pd(OAc)2, 1 mol % of ligand, and sodium tert-butoxide (115 mg, 1.20 mmol) at 100° C. for 27 h in toluene to give the title compound (208 mg, 94%) as a colorless oil: 1H-NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3): δ 7.15 (t, 1H, J=Hz), 6.53 (app.bd, 3H, J=3.3 Hz), 3.31 (t, 4H, J=7.5 Hz), 2.37 (s, 3H), 1.63 (m, 4H), 1.42 (m, 4H), 1.02 (t, 6H, J=7.2 Hz). 13C{1H}-NMR (100 MHz, CDCl3): δ 148.27, 138.73, 129.02, 116.05, 112.39, 108.94, 50.74, 29.45, 22.02, 20.36, 14.01. GC/MS (EI): m/z 219 (M+). Anal. Calcd for C15H25N: C, 82.13; H, 11.49; N, 6.38. Found: C. 81.85; H, 11.57; N, 6.47.
